Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17941
large table cell causes problems in pagination
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
I have a two column table with one row. Each cell has a large amount of text in it (more than the page). In non-outline view mode (I don't know that true name for this) the table gets chopped off at the end of the page. Scrolling past this table results in many alarm beeps. At one point I split both cells in the row multiple-times. Again the amount of text in all the cells was greater than the page. At this point printing and display of the table became unstable. Some times OO chips the table, other times it misaligns the table and overpints it on the paragraphs following the table
Please attach the document creating the problem to your report. Thanks, Tam
The issue of a single table cell not being able to span multiple pages is a duplicate of bug 2109, which is planned to be fixed in OOo 2.0. As for the printing problem, this looks a lot like bug 13976.
I keep puzzling over this one, but I think I know what's intended. It seems to me that a two-column page style and the use of connected frames would be better suited to the intended usage than trying to put so much text in a table cell. Have you looked into that way of solving the problem?
