Description Unknown 2002-09-17 11:22:52 UTC 
When i work with really large tables, i'd like to have auto cell--page-break 
in the fashion it is done in MS-Word. Otherwise -- the number of pages in 
MS-WORD and OO slightly differs.

I think, compatibility to MSWORD is an argument, but might be the next
one wants it for WP and so on and so on and so on.

Are there more arguments to create auto cell--page-break 
in the fashion it is done in MS-Word?

This is not really an issue of compatibility with MS Word. It is plainly a
current limitation of OOo Writer. I do not see a good reason why a cell would
not be allowed to split within one row over different pages. This feature would
allow to use tables as a layout tool for what is called "parallell colun=mns" in
Wordperfect. Currently, there is no elegant way of doing parallell columns in
Writer. I'd rather clasify this issue as an "Enhancement" rather than as a
"Feature".
Comment 6 ftack 2004-08-24 21:43:34 UTC 
Please set this issue for all operationg systems. It is a current design
limitation of Writer. This issue remains applicable to versions 1.1. I also
suggest to raise the priority. It is a mayor obstacle for people migrating from
MS Word or having to exchange documents in Word format (like most of us still
have to do). Moreover, implementing this enhancement would allow tables to be
used as a layout tool, for example in creating "parallel columns" (for example,
a script with dialogs in the left column and instructions on the right side),
something that currently cannot be done in a decent way in Writer.

If it is being fixed in OOo 2.0, then please indicate so, and close this issue.
Thumbs up, then.
