Description gorn 2004-10-25 11:57:09 UTC
If you use table, there are three levels of background you can set. Text
background, paragraph, background and cell background. When you work with the
table there are two toolbars you can switch between: Text Object Bar and Table
Object Bar. There are threee buttons to change background available: two on Text
Object bar and one on the Table object bar. Expected behaviour would be that the
two on the Text object bar are for text and paragraph level and the one in the
Table object bar would set cell background. This is not true. The button on
table object bar sets paragraph background, so the cell background is not
accesible via toolbars and paragraph background is accesible twice, which is
highly illogical. Moreover i thing that when working with tables, the most
ususal situation is to set the cell background [which is not accesible via
toolbar at all], the second mos usual is to set text background [to highlight
some individual words for example] and the less used is the paragraph background
[which has two buttons - one on each of two toolbars]. So it is copletele the
other way round then it should be.

Hi,

as Calc does not have any paragraph object, this sounds to be a problem of
writer. If this is not the case, please be more precise.

Re-assigned to writer.

Yeah, problem is known. See issue 12771.
There must be selected at least one complete cell to apply the background color
to the table/cell and not as paragraph background.
