Problems:
1) In an OpenOffice text document that has information lined up in columns
(such as a price list or menu): When changing the size of the font the size
of "tabs" and "spaces" does not remain consistant, which makes the columns no
longer line up as before. About 1/3 of the entries will have to have the tabs
&/or spaces edited to bring them back into alignment. This is very time
consuming and should be unnessary. Tabs & spaces need to be one constant size,
never variable, within each font size. Being able to lock the position of a
column (not as a table) would also work.
2) In an OpenOffice spreadsheet: Within a cell it is common to want to
split wrap-around text at the the author's point of preference (such as with an
address). The placement of multiple "spaces" to push the text into position is
time consuming, sloppy, and unpredictable at best. Then, if the size of the
cell or the font changes, the entire document has to be searched to repair the
unwanted auto-adjustments. Please provide a way to use commands like "enter"
and "tab" inside the cells.
3) When pasting information copied from any internet source into an
OpenOffice text document, OpenOffice will consistantly crash at least 20% of
the time. Worse, I've experienced days when it was 98% of the time. The method
I've used is to "block" the desired information on the website, "control + C"
to copy, then "control + V" to paste the information into my OpenOffice
document. Photos cause the most trouble but text is in no way immune.
Questions:
1)In an OpenOffice spreadsheet: I don't want to have to reorganize an
entire spreadsheet to accomodate a single unusual entry so is there a way to
split one cell into multiple cells? I'd like the choice of vertical,
horizontal, or multiple splits and also need to be able to adjust the size of
the resultant cells.
2) In an OpenOffice text document please tell me how to switch between
"manual" and "auto-placement" of outline numbering. Also, how do I set "manual"
as my default?
