This has driven me nuts for all the years I have used OOo and it's time
I figured it out.
When I create a table I need to be sure there is at least one carriage
return before and one after the point where I am going to insert the
table, else I will never be able to select the table. Just now I have a
table that has no carriage return after it. I can select the entire
table, but all I get is the data in the cells - I don't get the
structure of the table. And Ctrl-X just deletes the data from the
table, leaving the structure on the page. If I want to select the
entire thing I have to select from carriage return before to carriage
return after.
I know that I can enter a carriage return before the table by inserting
the cursor into the first cell and pressing Enter. But putting the
cursor in the last cell and hitting Enter just inserts a carriage
return within the cell.
How do I get a carriage return after the table? I've looked all over
the Help and can't find the answer.
I can't reproduce this behavior on my VistaHP system with 2.4.1, and
I've never had any problem with getting and copying whole table
structures (by selecting directly, or using Table > Select > Table). If
I click below a table that has nothing before or after it, I get a text
cursor on a blank line. I can even select an interior block from a
table, Ctrl-C, click below the table, Ctrl-V, and get a new table with
the appropriate structure and contents. Wonder what's making you get
different results, there doesn't seem to be anything in table properties
that would change the behavior here.
