There is an enhancement in OO 2.0.3, delivered with the name "Compatibility option: Keep-with-next attribute for table rows". The details of the feature can be gotten from http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/2.0.3.html. A new (non-UI) compatibility option "TableRowKeep" has been added to Writer documents. If this option is enabled, a table row can be forced to keep together with the next row by setting the keep-with-next attribute to the first paragraph within the first cell of this row. If this row is the last row of a table, the last row tries to keep together with the next content behind the table. This compatibility option is disabled per default and enabled during ww8/rtf import.
This enhancement try to provide the behavior and layout compatibility of MS Word's table,within which the first para of the cell has the "Keep with next(Paragraph Dialog->Line and Page Breaks in MS Word)".. This enhancement still has something to do in order to provide completed compatibility.The known cases provided by "TableRowKeep" Feature as followed: *a)*If the table is the first lower content of a page, the "keep with next" attribute of the first para of the first row&column will works as normal, The first row will not be moved to new page..*But if the contents within the first row is enough to be beyond the height of the page,the row will not split, the part beyond page will be truncated in AOO..* *b)*If the table is the first lower content of a page, the "keep with next" attribute of the first para of the 1 column/ 2 row will make table from the second row, moved to new page..*But if the contents within the second row is enough to be beyond the height of the page,the row will not split, the part beyond page will be truncated **in AOO**..* *c)*If the table is the first lower content of a page, the "keep with next" attribute of the first para of the first row&column and the 1 column/ 2 row will works as normal, not moved to new page in MS Word..In AOO,the table from the second row will be moved to new page..That's the difference..Moreover,* if the contents within the First or second row is enough to be beyond the height of the page,the row will not split, the part beyond page will be truncated** in AOO**..* This problem is related to the formatting of table and impact the table formatting procedure deeply.Anyone is interesting in it?Thanks. -- Best Regards,Jianhong Cheng
