Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, OpenOffice.org 2.3.0
OpenOffice Writer completely ignores text in tables when comparing
documents. I have several large documents where ALL the text is in
tables, so I cannot search for changes among them. If I convert the
tables to text and do the comparison, the changes appear, though of
course the tabular format is completely lost. (In my documents, the
table cells each contain one or more paragraphs, so tabbed cells will
not work.
To reproduce:
1) Create a new document
2) Insert a table of any size
3) Type text into the cells
4) Save the document
5) Type some additional text into some of the cells
6) Save As... a different name
7) Choose Edit --> Compare Document... and pick the file saved in step 4
8) None of the changes are highlighted.
** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
