Since you have an embedded object, it is all there in truth.
What is the best practice for copying a table or part of a table from
writer to impress ? If it is by way of an OLE object, how can I get
the whole thing ?
The problem - and the solution - is only in how you try to expand the
pasted object, I think. I imagine that you are dragging the green
handles, which resizes the object but distorts the content without
changing how much of it you can see. Instead, select the pasted
object and go to Edit | Object > | Edit - or simply double-click it.
This opens the original object - here, your table - in a Writer window
where you can manipulate it. Dragging the boundary of the embedded
Writer window behaves differently, and you should be able to expand it
to include your entire table. Click outside this embedded window to
return to the normal view of the Impress document. You can then scale
the object if you need to.
I trust this helps.
You are absolutely correct.
Many, many thanks.
