orcmid <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |CONFIRMED Latest|--- |4.1.2 Confirmation in| | OS|Linux 32-bit |All Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #3 from orcmid <[email protected]> --- The use of numeric cell formatting in Writer-produced tables is confined to the provisions of OpenDocument Format (ODF) used for .odt files. This is the same formatting that is used for Calc. ODF has no means for specifying the elimination of trailing zeros, even though the Writer (and Calc) implementation allow it to happened when the formatting is applied to an already-open document. The additional formatting cannot be preserved in the saved .odt, however. This is a limitation of the OpenDocument format. The limitation is the same as described in Issue 126827. The Help information is incorrect. The Help information is correct only when the table cell is in a Calc sheet and when it is saved in Excel format. (It doesn't apply to Writer at all since saving to Word format turns the fields into text.) There are two defects in the Writer case. First, the Help does not apply. Secondly, behaving as if the customization is accepted is actually incorrect. The policy issues around this phenomenon are similar to those for Issue 126827. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
