Description kalahari875 2004-02-21 15:32:46 UTC 
I frequently copy articles from the web from Internet Explorer into Word. Now 
that I am using OpenOffice, I'm having trouble getting this to work. The 
pasted text often appears off screen or strangely formatted (as if three pages 
of text are on page one of the OO writer document and you can see only the 
first part).

To reproduce:
1. Open a web page in Internet Explorer 6.0 that is reasonably long (such as 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=318378).

2. Select the text from the main part of the frame (from the title "How to 
Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP" down 
to "Keywords: kbenv kbhowto kbsetup KB318378 "). 

3. Paste this in a new OO writer document. For me, nothing appears on the 
first page of the new OO document at all except what looks like part of a 
table. Page two has some text, but there is much text not visible. Then on 
page three, you can see the tail end of the article.

Thanks for your time. I searched for this as best I could and didn't find it 
reported. Cheers and good job on a fine open source product.

Hello, I think, it is the known problem, that up to version 1.1 in OOo a table
cell cannot exceed a page boundary. You can see, that the text is still there,
if you change to 'online layout' in the menu 'view'. If you want to dissolve the
table, you can use 'Text <-> Table' in the menu 'tools'. Moreover there are some
sections in your file. Those you can dissolve in the Navigator.
