------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Jul 13 21:15:54 +0000 2009 ------- To me, this appears to be a display problem rather than a loss of data problem even though on re-opening the document, it appears as if data is lost. However, with the correct key-strokes, all the data re-appears. History: Trying to create page of labels. Page 1 has a table (TABLE A) of 3 columns, 7 rows. Page 2 has two columns, each the same size as the 1st & 3rd columns of TABLE A. (created Page 2 because the sub-tables I was trying to place into TABLE A kept disappearing). Built tables B and C on page 2. Table B & C each had a one-line paragraph immediately preceding them. Copied the one-line paragraph and table B from Page 2 and pasted into Table A column 1, row 1. Then pasted into column 1 row 2, row 3 etc. Copied the one-line paragraph and Table C from Page 2 and pasted into Table A column 3 row 1, then row 2, etc. down the page. Saved. Printed. All good. Closed OO. Went to START, Documents, selected the just saved odt file and opened. Table A, column 1 only contained the one-line paragraph - no table. Column 3 contained the one-line paragraph and the table - exactly as it had been when I saved the document. Page 2 was the same as it was when I saved it. Difference between Column 1 and 3: Table B (which was in each cell in Table A, column 1) was pushing the boundaries of the cell. With the paragraph mark afer the table (which I could not get rid of), the height of Table B was probably greater than the height of the row. Table C was the same width but contained fewer rows and therefore fit with plenty of room left over. When I turned on View Non-Printing Characters, I could see the top of the Paragraph Mark below the Table Bs in Column 1 of Table A. The bottom part of the Paragraph Mark was hidden. More info: I copied Table B from Page 2 and pasted it at the end of the one line paragraph in Table A column 1 row 1. First cell of Table B appeared in Table A Col 1 Row 1. 2nd cell of Table B appeared in Table A Col 2 Row 1. 3rd cell appeared in Table A Col3 Row 1, etc. Did a CTRL-Z and Table A appeared as it was when I saved the document - all the cells in Table A Column 1 were restored. I only pasted into one cell but the CTRL-Z not only undid the Paste but also "brought back" all the other missing cells. So the data but still have been there but was not appearing on the screen. To further verify that the data was there but just not visible, I did a Find & Replace for one of the words in Table B. Find found something but I could not see it. Hit the Find button several times and it moved on down the page stopping the correct number of times (once per missing sub-table). Just found an easier way to make the missing tables re-appear. Moved the mouse to the top of Table A, column 1 until the down arrow appeared. L-clicked to select the entire column. All that was showing were the one-line paragraphs. Hit the Delete key. All the one-line paragraphs disappeared. Hit Ctrl-Z - the one-liners came back PLUS all the missing tables. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
