Oo is more worse then any other programs...
Hi Michele. Cheer up :-) OOo can be frustrating... especially when
you're fighting it instead of working with it.
Problem 1: OOo under Linux enforce every time page format A4 with 2,5cm
border on all sides even if i setup this crapy program to
use left 2 cm and right, bottom and top 1 cm.
How can this crap can be fixed FOREVER?
Set up your default template to the page style you want to use. Look in
the help for Default Templates or look here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started/Setting_default_template
Problem 2: If I insert a TABLE, it enforce the WHOLE page width and can
not changed.
How to tell Owriter not to use the whole page width?
You could try to define an Autoformat for the table layout you want?
The suggestion here might work for what you want to achieve:

There is a related bug report requesting Table Styles
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11121
Problem 3: Is one of the worsest bugs!
I have a PAGE A3 LANDSCAPE with borders of 0cm (my Rotaprint
support it) and want to insert a table over the whole page
width. OK it enforce pagewidth by default.
Now I edit colum by colum with
Column 1 1,0 cm
Column 2 0,3 cm
Column 3 5,6 cm
Column 4 0,3 cm
and now this crappy Owriter it becomes worse
Column 9 1,0 cm
Column 8 24,0 cm
but now column 1 is fucked! I have to change it back to 1,0cm
but now colum 2 is fucked again...
The only colum, where the width is no known to me is COLUMN 5
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME, WAY THIS SHIT OF A CRAPY OWRITER
IS SCREWING THE LAYOUT WITHOUT BEING ASKED?
Try this:
Tools > Options > OOo Writer > Table > Behavior of rows/columns
and set it to Fixed. Does this help? Combine this with the Autoformat
idea?
Searching the Internet seems, I and my customers are not the only ones
who are bothered by this bug and misbehaviour which can not deactiveted.
I HATE this OPEN OFFICE crap and I HATE peoples (french government)
FORCING me to use this CRAP.
OPENOFFICE, FIREFOX and PIDGIN are to most non-productive programs which
the Open Source Commuity have ever created!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've used Firefox for years... no issues.. same with Pidgin :-) I find
them to be quite productive.. especially since I am not inundated with
advertisements and other fluff... I just have the app that does the job
I need it to :-)
