Bug ID: 163502
Summary: Can't clone/copy the formatting of one table to
another
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I've pimped up a table of mine with all sorts of formatting: Borders, fonts and
colors for the header row and the other rows, alignments, background area
colors etc.
Now, I have a different table on another slide, and I want to apply the
formatting of the first table - as closely as possible - to the other table.
Assume the simple case of the tables having the same number of rows and
columns; and let us ignore complex issues like table direction (e.g. is the
first cell on the left or right etc.)
If I use the clone-formatting tool on the first table, then click the second
table - I get almost no changes. In fact, other than the font color - which is
only taken from one of the cells or rows of the source table - nothing seems to
change. Try it with the attached two-slide file.
I claim that in the simple case, the formatting should be applied fully, and in
a more complex case of a different number of rows or columns, some reasonable
heuristic should be applied (e.g. last row/col format applies to all subsequent
rows/cols respectively in a larger table; extra rows/cols in origin table are
ignored).
