------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jan 30 18:36:54 -0800 2007 ------- The attached document may show a situation where such behavior is desirable where the object is part of the sentence When a sentence containing objects with alternative text is copied to notepad, the alternative text is omitted. The behavior is seen in object(formulas) and pictures. Steps to reproduce * Open openoffice writer * Create a sentence as follows "How to make combination of m out of n items" Select m Click on menu Insert->object->formula This converts m into a formula Right click the formula object, click on object click on options In alternative text put say m * and/or create a sentence and anchor a picture as a character in the sentence Right click on picture Click on type In anchor, select anchor as character Click on options Insert some alternative text that describes the figure * copy either sentence into notepad the alternative text does not appear. * make some headings in this way Create a table/index the table/index does not show the alternative text. Select some text which includes an object, like a math text formula I am unsure myself what the behavior should be because in most cases there may be situations when copying the alternative text may be undesirable. Maybe a check box in the options tab in the object dialog box, could indicate if the alternative text is to be included in a plain text copy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
