Something I've taken for granted in Microsoft Office (and virtually
every
other word processor/text editor) is that if I cut or copy text from
some
place and paste it to the program, the whole thing is copied over. With
OOo
Writer it seems that only the first page is pasted in and the rest of
it?
Who knows. I regard this a bug, and believe me - it bugs me. Is there
any
plan to correct this? (Alas I can't program anything newer than
GW-BASIC so
I can't do it myself).
I've done multi-page cut&paste many times in Writer with no problems
(currently using 2.4.1 on VistaHP). Are you by any chance trying to
paste into a frame?
It seems any variant from 2.4 to 3.1dev works the same way for me. No I
don't try to paste things into a frame. Is that my mistake?
BTW I am using Windows 2000. I have about had it though, and would just as
soon adopt Linux (I'm divided between Slackware and Ubuntu) but I don't know
if my rapidly aging machine could deal with WINE effectively, and if I can't
run my (fairly) trusty MSO2K on it then I would need a reliable version of
OOo. I have yet to see this.
No, I thought the problem might be using a frame since they don't resize
(they basically support page layout where you need to establish a
particular area or set of linked areas for your content). It sounds as
if coming from a web page is more likely to be involved, and I don't
have any real experiance with that. But it might be relevant to know
what browser you're using. I've used multi-page copying for years, but
from Word or other Writer files, on various Windows systems.
