Hi,
Using OpenOffice Writer, I cannot fins a way to simply
move (cut then paste) a line within a table.
When I select the whole line (by clicking on the left
of the first cell) and try to cut, it only cuts the
content (and not the line).
And when I copy the line, I cannot "paste the selected
line" (just as in M$-Office)
The only way I have found is to create blank lines
where I want within the table, copy the content, paste
the content and then delete the 'old' lines. That is
indeed not very practical.
Does anyone has any idea how to do that "cut/paste"
thing ?
(I already know it works on ooCalc, but I am not OK
with that solution!)
Thanks
Seb
I'm afraid that for this to work as you'd like, Writer would have to
handle cutting and pasting table rows in a completely different way than
it handles all other table cut/copy/paste operations, so I don't think
it's very likely. As is, Writer treats this the same way it does the
cut/copy/paste of any arbitrary rectangular portion of a table, which is
far more flexible than Word's operation (at least in the last version of
it I used). One side effect is that rows are never automatically
deleted; another is that the current cell location in the destination
(or top left of the selected area) is where the top left of the clipped
data begins when pasted. Writer will only create new rows in the
destination table if there are not enough preexisting cells to hold the
data. But the primary effect is that you don't need to have selected an
exactly equivalent cell range in the destination in order to paste such
a range, and this is a very useful function.
