Description kyoshida 2003-09-21 16:31:17 UTC 
I have a table that consists of cells that are formatted by stylist.  When I
copy the table and paste it as a GDI meta file, the cells that are formatted by
stylist loses their number format.

I will post an example file that I created.  The file has a table with cells
that are stylist-formatted.  Cells initially show numbers with three decimals as
specified by its cell style.  When I copy the entire table and paste it as a GDI
meta file, the cells with cell style shows no decimals at all.

The example file will follow...

The same problem occurs when the sheet itself is copied to a new
document.  The numbers are rounded to the nearest integer.

Hi,

for the GDI I think this is a limitation of the clipboard. As you can
see if you use the clipboard viewer app. from Windows, the decimals
are there for the other options but not for enhanced metafile which is
the GDI Metafile.

For the copy to new sheet, I think this is Niklas' construction site.
So I assign it to him.

No, this is no limitiation of the clipboard.
It's both the same issue - user defined number formats in cell styles
aren't transformed into formats from the destination document's number
formatter.

This issue should get target "later". That doesn't mean it won't get
done before 2.0, just that it's not a necessity.

According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap
(http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to
OOo Later.
