1.  Numbers formatted to display decimal positions (e.g. #,##0.00) in Calc will
lose their formatting upon file conversion to CSV. That is, 123,456.70 becomes
123456.7; 123,456.00 becomes 123,456; etc. If I have two decimal positions
displayed in Calc, then I want to see the same number of decimal positions - NO
TRUNCATION - in the CSV file.

To combat the problem, I have to create a temporary column and use the Text
function (e.g. =Text(L1;"0.00") to get a column of text that will yield the
expected result.

2.  Date values displayed with YYMMDD format (e.g. date 1/22/2004, displayed in
Calc as 040122) will not carry through in the same format to the CSV file.
Instead, using the same example, the date field gets expressed in the CSV file
as 01/22/2004.
