I often use defined name CRLF in Excel like below images. The formula is
=CHAR(13) + CHAR(10). This method cannot be correctly imported from Excel
to LibreOffice.
Here are summarized images.

Hi Guys,
Is there any way to split a primary (one that has not been 'merged'
previously) cell? I can't seem to find such an option. If there is no
current option then is it technically possible to do so?

Hi @katsum,
works for me as I think it must be expected, with:
Win7x64, LibreOffice 4.2.6.5 / 4.2.7.2 / 4.3.0.4 / 4.3.1.0.0+ /
4.4.0.0.alpha0+
I don't remember any option to change this behavior, but maybe there is any.

Pat,
why do you need to split a cell? What data does it contain and what do you
need to do with these data?

Thanks Alan. I need to split a single cell and work with it as two cells
(i.e. text as well as background and cell borders). Maybe the only way to
do this is to merge two columns and then split the one cell that I need to
work with. This is rather ham-fisted but may be the only solution.

Hi :)
I didn't mean that Italo was wrong, just that it was possibly a bit geeky
(and that wasn't a disadvantage because he put it so well).
Where MS might be updating their doc, xls etc formats at least they have
hopefully stopped doing different versions for different versions of their
program.

Hi All,
So I went back to planning stage. Link to what I think might work -
hoping to get the planning stage done today so I can start actually
putting together the db - I have 3 days off so now's a good time for me
to get the basic structure together :) Thanks in advance!
Joel,
The NumberOfBooksByAuthor and ReadBooksByAuthor fields are unnecessary.
They can be derived from a simple query for a report.
Since there has to be a one-to-one relation between the ReadStatus table
and the BookInformation table, you might as well merge them. When you do
merge them, a
It looks like each book should only have one of the ReadStatus flags
set, so I'd make that an enum field on the BookInformation table, with
possible values of Not Read, Reading and Read. You can set the
default value for the field to Not Read so a new record will be set to
that status if no

Not sure; it's just a possibility to rule out. One possible explanation
