I don't know about the rest of the question, but OpenOffice tends to
treat numbers in "e" format as text strings and you have to do a
text-to-columns conversion on them. When you open a CSV it pops up "the
how do you want to parse this" dialog box and you can make whatever
choice of separators suits the file - any combination of comma, tab,
semicolon, spaces, and some others, or a user-specified string.
