Works for me (Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10) using: OOo 3.01 Official (U)OOo 3.01 - from the Ubuntu PPA > > Now tell me how you managed to get the "1." at the top of the left > cell. No. You first. Unless you have modified the style, it should stay at the top left. You can of course modify it to center as in your example *if* you place the cursor in column 1 and: Format|Alignment|tick 'Center'. Then it moves to the center as in your example. If I tick 'Top' it moves back to the top left. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
