Move the cursor to an area outside of the > table, then do select all. AFAICT it doesn't matter where the cursor is. Only the first table cell is selected. If I type in a word at the top and then insert the same 2x1 table, Ctrl-A works as expected. If I then remove the word so that the table is left as the first element, Ctrl-A again incorrectly selects only the content of the first cell. I think perhaps the algorithm used by the Ctrl-A handler is not optimal. > Regarding the kerning, I don't know if this will have any effect, but > check in Tools > Options > Writer > Compatibility and see if Use > Printer Font Metrics is checked.

I also downloaded OOo to my OSX 10.3 mini and found the metrics were off with it as well but the spacing was too great, not too little and looked even worse than Linux. With printer metrics on it was perfect (arguably better than Linux + printer metrics which was, by comparison, a little tight). I also tried OSX + printer metrics + kerning but I could not tell the difference. So what am I breaking with printer metrics turned on? Note that Times New Roman looked good - it seems that non-printer derived font metrics are wrong for Arial (at least).
