Using the OOo HTML-editor (1.1.5), there is one really annoying thing (among others, more hard to explain):

I have a html file containing tables only. When looking at the html code, there is the following line at the first table (this is an example): <TABLE WIDTH=643 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 STYLE="page-break-before: always">

The file looks good in my web browsers (Opera and IE) but when printing, the first page always turns out to be blank, so I remove the following:
STYLE="page-break-before: always"

Then I save the file and it works great. No blank pages.

But every time I edit something in the document, OOo puts it back again! Even if I only enter a character and remove it again, it makes sure that the annoying line above is there.

I don't know if this makes sense, so I will give an example:

I create a html file with OOo html writer (or whatever it's called). The file will contain tables and nothing more (except text in the tables of course).
I enter the html code and look for the line:
<TABLE WIDTH=643 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 STYLE="page-break-before: always">
I edit it so it looks like:
<TABLE WIDTH=643 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
I save the file.
Somewhere in a cell I enter a "g" and erase it again immediately.
Back into the html code, the famous line now looks like this again:
<TABLE WIDTH=643 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 STYLE="page-break-before: always">

Does 2.0 do the same thing? If so, why?

One thing I experience using that html editor, is that there are some parameters I can't set in other ways than editing the html code, or maybe I just don't know how.

I had a funny problem today too:
Among all those tables, I had one with column widths I wasn't pleased with, so I changed them so they looked like supposed to.
Then I saved the file.
Now I went to the html code mode, editing that famous line mentioned above.
Saved again.
Guess what... the column widths was back to what they were before I edited them! WHY??? I don't have a clue. I solved it by completely delete the table and then insert a copy of another table in the same document. This table already had the right column widths, and now it looked right, even after editing the famous line, mentioned above several times now.

What's going on??
I have seen similar things going on in the html editor many times before. Something looks wrong, I edit it, remove STYLE="page-break-before: always", and then that "something" looks wrong again...

Anyone else experienced this?
