[Gvsig_english] editing properties of attribute tables in Open Office

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear list,
a short question on attribute tables: is it recommended to use Open 
Office Calc to edit attribute tables of shapefiles? For example,
I would like to remove decimal places of some columns - Calc allows the 
user to edit the field properties by changing the values of the
values in the first line (example: a column has a definiton for 
numerical values with a length of 18 and 6 decimal places: 
name_column,N,18,6 --> name_column,N,18,0 in order to get rid of the 
decimals...).

Any comments are welcome.
Best,
Wolfgang
