Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 148
Powerpoint import of textual table
Last modified: 2004-03-19 21:06:40 UTC
The attached file has a number of text tables that should suuperimpose. Spacing is created using (default) tabstops and spaces. Works great in powerpoint, but the numbers spread onto multiple lines with openoffice, and the table format is lost.
Created attachment 25 [details] Powertpoint file with textual table
should be ui not code
An example, where our problems with use of tabs and spaces after Power Point- Export are obvious.
Different problems are demonstrated by the attached document. Significant here is that tabulators disappear when they are first in the paragraph and no bullet is selected. Another problem is the default tabulator. Powerpoint supports a default tabulator for each textobject. Currently in OpenOffice a default tabulator is supported for the whole document only. That means each default tabulator has to be replaced by a hard tabulator attribute. That is not perfect, but the result that is displayed will be the same. In long term the feature of having a default tabulator for each paragraph should be implemented.
The tabulator problem is fixed in version 621 in file svx/source/svdraw/svdfppt.cxx (r1.25) The other problems with the attached document will hopefully be fixed by Issue 143.
The fix for this issue will be available up from version 638h. Due to the huge amount of changed files, I spare to provide an exact list of files that are changed, but I can say that the fix depends to the project svx only. Sven
