I tried first as you proposed and got the FontWork-Object in OO, but was not able to get a normal font and the letters where not properly alignd I then tried directly in OO: - Isert a T-frame from the drawing-toolbar - open the fontwork-window - choose "right arc" - choose "upright" - choose "center" - mark the text and open format/character - position/scaling/scale width: 150% It's now like t h i s but the alination is not a proper vertical line- probably due to the "right arc". I insist: the calc-cell-format is the most simply and most flexible way to do it and if they could transfer this funcionality to the writer - for me it would be perfect. When there would also be an ampliation of fontart that allows the "right arc" to be even a vertical line withiut bend - that would also be fine. But in the cases I know, I'd prefer the usage within a (writer-)table. If needed in a writer-textframe, there is no problem - you can insert a 1-cell-table into a frame. Up to then I did this: - Insert in a writer-document an OLE-Object:spreadsheet - change the cell-format to "vertically stacked" - mark the writer-paragraph with the object-anchor and make an autotext of it. -- _________________________________________________________________________ Claudia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
