The real annoying thing is when people complain about something that's
not part of OpenOffice.
OpenOffice doesn't have a browser so it doesn't force you to open it
with a certain browser.
I also don't like the fact that said browser
removes (or at least hides from me) my signature stored in the email
service. But those are not the reason for the message.
Again that's not part of OpenOffice
You have a function for working with tables that seems to have no useful
purpose, but the title given to it would be quite useful, and there doesn't
seem to be any way to actually do what the name of the function implies.
What are you referring to? What title, you even don't tell which part of
OpenOffice you are using.
Microsoft Word has a function with nearly the exact same name, and it
functions as the name suggests and is very handy.
What function you are referring to? I have no idea.
The function in question is “Distribute Rows Equally”, and it is found
under the “Table” menu in the “Autofit” sub-menu. I read the Help on that
topic, and it functions exactly as described, but for no benefit that I can
imagine. The similar “Distribute Columns Evenly” operates nearly identical,
different only in that it is limited by the page size, while rows are not.
What the function does in make every column (or row) match the largest one
in the selection.
That depends on your selection: Optimal Row Height or Distribute Rows
equally
I can do that in several different ways without using
this function, and the name does not suggest that such will be the outcome.
Could it be that you have a wrong perception what the outcome will be?
It isn't “distributing” anything, it is simply expanding each row to the
size of the largest. What I want to do (and what the name implies what and
Microsoft does) is distribute the rows equally or evenly within the area of
the rows selected.
Well that's what my version (4.1.3) of OpenOffice does.
And by the way OpenOffice never is, was or will be a clone of MS Office,
so don't expect that
it act as MS Office it does the things it was designed for.
The final table would occupy no more, no less, but
exactly the same space as the original, but the spacing of the rows would
all be the same.
Now you lost me. The final table will only be the same if you don't
distribute the rows equally or
select optimal row height.
This supports providing as much space or as large a font as practical while
keeping a consistent look and staying (for example) on one page. There is
no easy way to do this that I know of without a command such as this. I
must somehow measure the total space that I want the finished table to
occupy, then manually divide that by the number of rows I want, and then
size each one to that size. Given certain scenarios, one could do that last
step en mass, but the first two steps are cumbersome and tedious. The
computer could do that in a moment, just as quickly as it does what it does
now, but with far more benefit.
I strongly urge the team at Apache to consider making this design change.
I strongly urge you to check the Table Properties window
