Hello, gnumeric is great!

But I was surprised when I tried to load my cell-phone phone book into
it, and the "text"-mode column stripped the leading "+" from the numbers.

Can somebody tell me how to really turn off interpretation - or give me
a pointer where in the code I can change it?
    

Type ' as first character in the cell to force text mode
  

Ah, good, that worked.  Thank you.

It's unfortunate, though, when I've formatted the cell as text, with validation "any value (without interpration)".
Perhaps it's just a simple bug, which I should fix (if I can get gnumeric built)?
