--- Comment #2 from Raluca Popa <[email protected]> --- Configuration information: I reproduced this issue on AOO411m4(Build:9774) installed on a machine that runs Windows 7. Specific description of the steps: 1.Create a new Writer document 2.Go to Format > Pages > Columns 3.Insert in Columns field a value > 50, but not too extreme 4.Click on OK Specific description of the failure: The page is divided into 50 columns. Please notice that Columns field contains now value 50 (not the value previously entered). As Nicole Ballman said above, a critical condition for this bug to be reproducible is that when executing step 3 the default value of the Column field has to be 1. Another way of reaching Format > Pages > Columns is Format > Columns. I think this issue of wrong division of page is in communion with options under Width and spacing. When enter the value at step 3, Column, Width, Spacing, Auto-width options are not editable. According to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Working_with_page_styles : “After you select more than one column, the Width and Spacing section becomes active”. According to Open Office wiki (https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Using_columns_to_define_the_page_layout) “the changes are being applied to the Default page style”. I believe that means the page will be divided in columns that have the width at least 0.13 “ (which is the equivalent of 50 columns). I tried to use other page styles, but the problem still seemed to reproduce. Other reports from OO bug database that refer column division: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=9575 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=7880 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=11760 These are very old reports (2002, 2003) of early versions of Writer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
