The problem is also present when opening existing spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice 2.0.2 (build 2.0.2.5), on OpenSuse Linux 10.1. However, I've I noted something which is partly a temporary fix, partly may be a hint to the bug: When I delete the ~/.ooo-2.0 catalogue before opening oo calc the problem disappears. It reappears the next time I open a new or existing spreadsheet. If someone could hint me to the file which determines the standard width of columns, I could look further into my problem, possibly helping other people and OOO? thanks, Mikkel From: CPHennessy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 21:35:50 +0100 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Subject: [users] Column width in Linux Suse and Calc 2.0.2 is extremely large On Mon June 5 2006 20:11, + Dr. Juan Pedro Sanchez C wrote: > [ MODERATED ] *********************** > Under winxp + OO 2.0.2 I didn have this problem. > I jumped to Linux Suse 10.1 which comes with OO 2.0.2. > When I open a NEW Calc sheet, the columns are extremely large, and if I > click on the right arrow, I can grab the separation between the columns > in order to reduce the size. > I've had to select the whole sheet, reduce the zoom to 20%, change the > width and optimal width to 0.01 inches.
