------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Oct 16 15:24:32 -0700 2006 ------- Hi Dev folks I found some DDE chain problems in Writer and it appears in any version of OOo 2. I.e. all of 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. I have observed different behaviors but this reconstruct may address the issue for you: 1. Open or create a Calc spreadsheet, and save it. Write some number in a cell and copy that cell to the clip board. 2. Create a Writer document and save it. Create a footer and place the cursor in the footer and Edit->Paste special... ->DDE Chain. 3. Check that it works. Change the content in the source cell in the spreadsheet and notice the change in the text document. It works now, but.... 4. Close both the text doc and the spreadsheet and save the changes. 5. Reopen the spreadsheet and change the content in the linked cell. 6. Reopen the text document, and choose Tools->Update->Update All. 7. Here is the failure. The expected content will simply not update or show at all in the destination spot in the footer of the text document. A look into the XML code of the document seems right (I think): - <style:footer> - <table:table table:name="Tabel1" table:style-name="Tabel1"> <office:dde-source office:name="soffice1" office:dde-application="soffice" office:dde-item="C:\Documents and Settings\sdy\Desktop\dde.ods" office:dde-topic="Ark1.D10" office:automatic-update="true" /> <table:table-column table:style-name="Tabel1.A" /> - <table:table-header-rows> - <table:table-row> - <table:table-cell table:style-name="Tabel1.A1" office:value-type="string"> <text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents">9879</text:p> </table:table-cell> </table:table-row> </table:table-header-rows> </table:table> <text:p text:style-name="Footer" /> </style:footer> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
