I don't seem to be able to get the (wrong) results as described. I'm

to clarify
Hi Andreas,
thanks for your reply.
I've a Calc-Sheet with address data (linked with Writer it was transformed
to a database).
In my used Writer (LO 4.4) the query does no work properly.
The query described by you would be in my case [my calc

Hi Sophie,
Thanks for the link; yes, I looked at that menu as well, but couldn't see
anything pertinent to generation of list entries. Perhaps I have a blind spot?

I think post as a Feature Request. If at all possible i think it's
best to post Feature Requests instead of bug-reports. They have a
much bigger feel-good factor and i suspect they are more likely to
attract new devs.

I think have a wee difficult to understand what you are doing, as I do
not see any error. You put constants 1 and 2 in the cells A1 and A2 and
a sum formula in A3. Then you insert an empty cell in A1 while moving
the existing content in the cells one step to the right. Hence after the

Hello. I just installed 4.4.03 on Windows 7.
I'd like to use Base.

happens.
The only buttons that work are Writer and Calc.

Hi :)
PDF Editor or PDF Editing can mean many different things. It
rarely means editing in the way you would edit a .doc or .odt.
In a word-processor format when you delete words or add words to a
sentence the whole line reflows to avoid leaving a gap or having words
over-writing each other.
Hi :)
There are various different layers of hidden codes. Ctrl A, Delete
only gets rid of a few of them.
Some can be seen by pressing the backwards sort of double-struck P in
the toolbar icons. This shows non-printing characters, such as tabs
and end-of-paragraphs, that don't get printed out.

I think this is a nice idea. Most people on these mailing list

Yes, you are doing the correct thing.
So, my answer doesn't explain why you are running into the problems
you are having. My advice might still have helped but more by

That wizard is counter productive and irritating for several reasons. You can
