I'm using OO.o 2.3.1 and Windows XP Pro, SP2.
I set up a small table in Calc, copied it to a Write document, then
emailed the Write file as a MS Word 97 format. The table
disappeared from the document. When I resent the file as a PDF
format, it worked fine. Is this normal, or did I do something wrong?
Was the table perhaps still linked to Calc rather than embedded in
the Writer document? If so, you may need to break the link (see the
built-in Help for "Edit Links").
I don't know if it was linked or not. I did a copy and paste from the
Calc file to the Write file. I also tried saving the Write file in MS
format, and the table disappeared from the saved file. I also saved
the Write file is ODF format, and the table is still there.
When I selected a group of cells in Calc, copied, and then did a paste
into Writer, it did not activate the Edit > Links capability, so my
original thought doesn't work. What I've got in Writer isn't really a
table, either -- it's apparently an object that (if edited) appears as a
portion of a spreadsheet and remembers the row/column position it had in
the source. Whether I save the Writer document as an .odt or .doc file
seems to have no effect at all when I open it in Writer. Since I've got
the same OOo and OS versions you do, this is very strange!
I also tried saving the file as an .rtf -- and most of the pasted
"tables" went away when I used Wordpad to open the document! (I don't
have Word itself, couldn't try that.) The exceptions were from some of
the paste-special operations I did with the range copied from Calc.
Unformatted text was there, with single tabs to space the columns. HTML
and formatted text (RTF) both turned into actual tables, using the full
page width for auto-width columns and showing light gray cell borders.
And when I selected the unformatted text and used the Table > Convert
option in Writer to convert it into a table, it came through to Wordpad
as a table with my standard cell borders.
Altogether, I expect you'd be successful with e-mailing your document if
you did the paste-special for unformatted text, converted that to a true
table, made the table look like what you want, and then saved as Word
format.
I'll give that a try. Thank you.
