If base as target handles importing (appending) data from arbitrary sources that makes more sense indeed.

There seems to be an off-by-one error somewhere in the pasting code, the first line is missing when copying from writer and from calc (tested with V2.2.0). And more, when copying from writer there really is a space added in front of the first value (which in most cases is the primary key), as Barbara reported. Maybe someone reading this thread can test on the current release to make sure the bugs are still there? > > And more: do you prefer fine granularity for issues (one item per issue, > > "copying data from writer" here) or do like container type ones holding > > several related things (importing and exporting from and to base)? > > http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/Docs/QA-Reloaded-BasicRules.html#one_per_issue > :) Okay, thank you.
