Description Unknown 2002-09-23 02:48:04 UTC
I have open office installed on my windows98 system.I clicked on insert table 
and got the menu which permits me to enter the number of columns and rows.I 
held the number or columns constant at 5 (the default value) and attempted to 
enter various non-digit values/values outside the appropriate range into the 
rows cell.The following are my inputs and the corresponding system outputs.
            INPUT FOR ROWS                          SYSTEM OUTPUT
                 0                                     5x1 table
                 -1                                    5x1 table
                 3277                                  5x3276 table
                 no input                              5x2 table
                 space                                 5x2 table
                 1.1                                   5x1 table
                  /                                    5x2 table
                  :                                    5x2 table
                  /1                                   5x1 table
                  :1                                   5x1 table
                  1/                                   5x1 table
                  1:                                   5x1 table
                  1/1                                  5x11 table
                  1:1                                  5x11 table
                  <F3>                                 5x2 table
I was surprised that the system accpted these inputs and produced no error 
messages.When I tried the same set of inputs in Microsoft word,I was unable to 
enter the inputs and the I received error messages from the Microsoft system.
I believe that "rows" in the insert table function of the open office word 
processor should reject non-digit inputs and inputs that are outside the 
appropriate range and issue error messages in such cases.

The fields used for metric values and numbers correct illegal values
to values that are in the correct range.
I can't find anything wrong in doing so. Especially it doesn't make
any sense to me to produce error messages. 
What is strange are some of the conversions you listed:
 
 1/1                                  5x11 table
 1:1                                  5x11 table

os->ssa: Why are those inputs converted to 11?
