Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3387
Problem with right justified text
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:13:47 UTC
When text length exceeds the cell boundry it continues over cells to the right when Right Justfied formatting is applied. This is the normal expected behavior when Left Justify is applied. At the very least the text should not continue beyond the right hand cell boundry when Right Justify is applied. However, it would be very useful to have Right Justified text overlap the other way, to the left. My accounting users are saying this is a manditory feature for producing reports (ie the Excel's been doing it since day one argument :-)).
Hi Jim, it's double and already on the agenda. Thanks, Peter *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 1171 ***
The issue this is being dupped to is "Multiple Text Alignment Issues". That one is marked as "started" and indeed some things have improved. But the description doesn't cover this problem. IMHO This issue I described should stand on its own until it gets fixed. Otherwise, why not dump the whole system and have one issue called "Fix all the problems in Open Office"?
Hi Jim, it maybe called 'Multiple ...' but it describes just the same solitary issue. I agree that your report comes to the essence much better but it's still the same. We have the issue on our list anyway. Regards, Peter *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 1171 ***
Double.
