Hi Barbara
Is reporting a bug a fairly straightforward process? I seem to remember
trying to do so in the early days of OOo (1.0) and having some challenges.
Many thanks for your help ... and thanks also to Brian Barker for his advice
on my other query (table heading sorting).
James

I have purchased some sheets of peel-off labels. On the packet is all
the information I needed to create a table with cells exactly matching
the size of the labels. So far, so good - all I have to do is to type
data into the table cells and it prints out on the labels in the way
required.
However, in one instance I wanted to put two addresses on labels to be
stuck onto the back of seminar tickets (the invitee has the choice of two
venues, and the addresses of the two venues are on the back of the
ticket. I thought I would insert a 2-column table into each cell of my
previous table. After doing that, if I go to the Table Menu and choose:
Select > Table, it always selects the newer, smaller table, even if I
have the cursor in and empty cell of the larger table. To select the
larger table, I first have to delete the smaller one.
Can anyone shed any light on what I might be doing wrong - or is this a
bug?
Many thanks, James
Sure looks like a bug to me! I even added several paragraphs under the
internal table in cell A1 and moved the cursor to a middle one of the
paragraphs, and it still acted as you described (I'm using WinXP, OOo
2.3.1). As long as cell A1 doesn't have an internal table, the selection
works fine, even with the cursor in the empty paragraph created under an
internal table in another cell. It also works if there's a paragraph (even
an empty one) before the internal table in cell A1, but not in other
cells. This is not as easy to accomplish as I'd expect, though. Hitting
Enter while at the beginning of cell A1 in a table generally inserts an
empty paragraph before the table, but not if the table is internal to
another. As a workaround to avoid having to fully delete the table in A1,
you can convert it to text and then back to a table.
