In OOcalc I wanted to use formula (symbols) and then some mathematical formula or its description in next cell. For symbol is used "Anchored to Cell", for description, I used "Vertical Alignment: Top". With this arrangement I was unable to get symbol and description in a line.
The reason that your description does not appear at the top of the cell is that this setting is overpowered by the 4.99 mm spacing to contents that you have set (all around). This is on the Borders tab of the Format Cells dialogue.
On trying to change base point for position of symbol failed.
Interestingly, each of your symbols is indeed anchored to a cell - but the cell above that in which it is placed. The base point appears to be not the position in the cell that is the reference for measurements, but instead the reference position within the graphic of which you wish to specify the position. And changing the base point is not apparently intended to move the item, but merely to change the way that you are describing where it should appear. So when you make the change, the values for Position change to keep it where it was. To move it, you have to change the Position values or, more easily, just drag the graphic to where you want it.
On deleting row containing "Beta", it deleted symbol "Beta" as expected but also deleted symbol "pi", i.e symbol of next line.
I find that the graphics are not deleted when the rows are; instead, the graphic seems to move up to the row it was anchored in (but now anchored in the cell above that). So I don't see beta and pi both disappearing: rather, I see both beta and pi - superimposed - in the new row 3.
How I can keep content of a row in a line (align vertically) ...
Attend to "spacing to contents" as well as alignment to put the descriptions where you want them. Drag the graphics to where you want them, or modify the Position values. Possibly anchor the graphics in their own cells.
In other big document, when I inserted a row, all symbols shifted in wrong manner (It shifted "Description, but not "symbol" for newly inserted row, i.e. new inserted row had a symbol in it, i.e for rest of rows it "shifted relatively 1, instead of zero).
That is what you would see if the graphics are anchored To Page instead of To Cell.
Incidentally, if all you want is Greek letters, you can insert these as text characters in many fonts, without the need for graphics at all.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
