Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 30781
manual line break reference
Last modified: 2008-08-10 17:06:35 UTC
first I'd like to say that I really like the new option to add manual line breaks in calc cells. The following problem occured to me when making a reference to a cell with a line break. 1. I inserted a few lines of text in cell 'A1' with manual line breaks (ctrl+enter) 2. I cell 'A2'I refer to cell 'A1'with formula '=A1' 3. I cell 'A2' the text of cell 'A1' appears without manual line breaks.
Hi, as we act like Excel do and this is not a defect, I chnaged the Issue type and send this for evaluation to Bettina. Frank
hi, I take the point that this is not a defect if it isn't in the original design, however this does work in excel and there is therefor a compatability issue. I opened an excel doc in OOo to find that all the formatting had been lost and so the data was unprintable within OOo. my only way round this; to convert all formulas to values in excel first. I am particularly interested in the concatenate function being able to 'see' line breaks but even the simple '=' reference would really help. john
