Hi.
I am trying to use tabs to line some parameter pairs up. This may or may
not be a bug depending upon the way you think a decimal tab should work.
If you put the following into a writer document
4800=4800
19K2=19200
Now highlight and Format>paragraph>tabs.
Set a tab stop at 5cm, decimal, character set to '='
Tab the above lines.
Should the 2 = signs line up or should the K in the lower line align
with the = in the top line?
LO 5.4, I get the K aligning with the =, the = don't all line up as I
had expected.
Go to Tools > Options > Writer > Compatibility and check "Use
OpenOffice.org 1.1 tabstop formatting". Then the stops will align at =
sign.
Kind regards
Regina
Thanks, saved the day. Do you have some background on why that is an
option, I am fairly certain that is the way Wordpro used to also work.
Cheers, Steve
