LibreOffice Calc: How to open CSV with numbers as text?

I'm trying to open a CSV (UTF-8) file with the following content in LibreOffice (4.4.7). Content is:

00442523534546234234;asdf
asdf;888234800000000023400000

But what I get after the import is:

4,42523534546234E+017 asdf 
asdf                  8,882348E+023

These are the 'real' values in Calc, i.e. it doesn't help to set the cell format to text. What am I doing wrong here? Or is it not possible?

You must set the column types in the Text Import wizard to Text
