------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Sep 28 02:19:22 +0000 2008 ------- I was on OOo version OOO300m7 (build 9354) Vista x64 and initially duplicated a variant of the problem then was unable to see it again. I attempted to duplicate the problem on Windows XP and was able to duplicate the variant I describe, but not the original problem. I can get something "close" to the original report, but not the same as the original report. > -Created a 5x5 sea blue color style table > -Entered some text on the top left box > -Highlighted the text and hit table properties on the tale toolbox "Highlight the text" seems to be a critical step in duplicating the problem. I initially assumed "Highlight the text" meant "highlight one word in the string I entered earlier", and later assumed "Highlight the text" meant "highlight the whole string I entered earlier, without going outside the cell boundaries". Those two forms of highlighting had similar results in later actions, and behaved the way I expected. The font size of the selected string or substring was displayed in the Size field of the dialog. I'll call those forms of highlighting "string highlighting" in the rest of this comment. I saw failures similar to those reported by the submitter when I assumed "highlight the text" meant "highlight multiple cells in the table, including the cell containing the previously entered text". The failures became more obvious if I inserted 12 point text in one cell and 18 point text in another cell, then selected both cells. I'll call this form of highlighting "cell highlighting" in the rest of this comment. I think "cell highlighting" is what the submitter intended. Unfortunately, I didn't see exactly the same resuilts as the submitter, only similar results. > -Entered a blank font size and hit OK When I used cell highlighting with text in a cell and no text in the other highlighted cells, the font size was initially displayed empty in the table properties dialog, and the text in the sample text at the bottom center of the dialog was 10 point text (very close to the 12 point text described by the submitter). Using 10 point text as the default for cell font size initially, with an empty string in the Size field surprised me because there was no 10 point text in any of the selected cells, and there was 18 point text in the selected cells. Later test runs on the same computer had a different behavior with the font size initially displayed as 18 in the table properties dialog and the text in the sample text at the bottom center of the dialog was 18 point text. It seemed as if the system "remembered" that the table font was to default to 18 point. That seemed to hold even for newly created tables. If I inserted 18 point text in one cell and 12 point text in another cell, then used cell highlighting to select cells which included both those cells, the Size field was empty in the table properties dialog. If I modified the value in the Size field by pressing the space bar and pressed OK, the text in both cells was set to a small font size (just as reported by lperold) If I left the entry with its default empty string and pressed OK, the font size did not change in either cell. That was what I expected. When I used string highlighting on the string in the cell, the font size was initially displayed in the table properties dialog as 18, and the text in the sample text at the bottom center of the dialog was 18 point text. That behaved as I expected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
