Makes sure I'm at the very top. Interestingly, it appears that if I am at the beginning of the table and press enter, a newline is added before the table. This, despite the fact that the cursor position is inside the table. This is rather unexpected behaviour. LOL, I never understood the thinknig either, but what's important is that it works.

Thanks, filed here: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108561 On OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 DEV300m69 (on Fedora 12 Linux), when I put the cursor at the very beginning of the first cell and press Enter, the result is a newline BEFORE the table. Also, the cursor moves from it's original position, to the one that I THINK I would expect it to be in: in the newline that was created before the table. If I understand your question, and if I followed the steps to reproduce in your bug report correctly, this problem appears to be fixed in OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 DEV300m69. So, hopefully this fix can be backported to the 3.1 branch. Steven P. Ulrick - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Also, the cursor moves from it's original position, to the one that I THINK I would expect it to be in: in the newline that was created before the table. Yes, but before you press Enter, where is the cursor? Do you see that the newline is not placed in the place where the cursor was (the cursor was in the cell, the newline is outside)? I think that you are looking at the cursor's position _after_ you press enter. The issue is the cursor's position _before_ you press enter. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [users] Re: Re: Writer: adding newline before table
When this thread began, I thought How else would one add a line before a table? This is exactly the way Microsoft Word works (I just tried it to refresh my memory). Since, when a table begins a document, there is no space before the table to put the cursor in, the current operation is about all you could do. Since, based on past threads, Dotan prefers OOo to work as Word does, I would think this is very desirable (though counterintuitive) behavior ;-).

I do not use it regularly as it does not run on my operating system. However, I do support some users who are familiar with Word, and often I represent their questions here. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
