------- Additional comments from sweeping...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 15 22:18:42 +0000 2009 ------- If you copy a small block of data from Calc (more than one column) and paste it into another application that isn't Writer, such as any other text editor, the data gets collapsed into one long column. Example: If I have a Calc document with six columns and several rows like the following: One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six If I copy the cells using command/control-C and then switch to another, non-OpenOffice.org application, such as TextWrangler or Appleworks or any application that doesn't support tables, the grid turns into one long column, like this: One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six One Two Three Four Five Six It would be nice if it could convert the grid to tab delimited text as it is pasting. That seems to be the more intuitive way to handle data going to non-OLE aware apps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
