It works easy with a .csv extension.

I just made it work with a .txt file I renamed to have no filename
extension. I selected "File->open" from an open blank OOo document. Then
I highlighted the file (once I found it) and then selected the file type
as "Text CSV" and then I get a dialog box to choose the field
delimiters.
