------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jan 3 12:05:34 -0800 2006 ------- I have a document (and will have others) which contains embeded portions of a spreadsheet. The document prints fine on graphics printers, even when the output is directed to a file (ie, printed to a PostScript printer and read with GhostScript). I also need to save a copy in plain text format (suitable for reading by Notepad). Unfortunately, OpenOffice Writer will not do this. Here are some of the things I have tried: Pasted As Result in *.txt file spreadsheet omitted text, rtf, html each cell is shown on a separate line This is, of course, ludicrous. There is no reason that a plain text file cannot show a table -- as you can clearly see above. And note that it implies that even "Paste Special Text" does not, in fact, paste the data as plain text into the file. Even creating a printer with the Default/Character only driver failed -- your pro gram in sert ed spaces into the text of the tables. And it did this whether the printer object was set to RAW or to one of the other choices. This is a very simple driver: it prints what it is sent and, as the test page shows, it does this very well indeed. You just have to use a program that actually sends the information to the printer properly. I do not expect the plain text file to show any actual formatting (no bold or italic characters, for example). But it /would/ be nice if OpenOffice could actually export text properly. Note: I did try searching the other issues, and the FAQs, and the listserves, and, indeed, that search did suggest that "Paste Special" might be a solution and so was not entirely fruitless, but it did not lead to a solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
