A remarkably useful bug, then. I'd call it a feature myself. From a couple
of quick tests, both Excel (97) and OpenOffice.org (1.0.2) allow you to do
this.


Agreed.  Excel has done this for as long as I can remember.  I've seen it
used many times as a quick way to create spreadsheet files.

I've never thought of it as a bug.  It's consistent with the result
of typing in the same data, or indeed copy-and-pasting it.


You make a good case.  The behavior has been restored.
