AFAICT "multi-paragraph" has become "block content". Cell->Special Properties->Block Content will give you the choice between always/if hyphenated/never. The second option is the default so "block content" is automatically activated when you select hyphenation for a cell. When would you want to have block content without hyphenation? What is the difference between the two anyway? > > * Cell Hyphenation does not seem to work as it used to: Previously, a > hyphenated cell would be limited in width to the column width (which was > determined by the widest un-hyphenated column, unless specified > otherwise.) Now, cell-hyphenation does not seem to do anything any more. > The attached document demonstrates this difference in rendering between > 1.0.6 and 1.0.6.6 You have to set Table->Width->Paragraph to limit the table width. Hyphenation then works as expected. I do not have 1.0.6 installed right now. Does this change remove the difference in rendering? All in all, I think the table UI has improved significantly, but there are still quite a few subtleties to master, before you achieve precisely the layout you want.
