Description

Sorry, however, because I assumed that you knew it is about the recent release of OOo from OBS. For the record, it is: OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 OOO320m19 (Build:9505) ooo-build 3.2.1.3 Hmm, I am not able to reproduce it here (the formating is copied). Rainer, could you please provide more information? 1. How do you exactly copy the cell? Using [Ctrl-C] or menu "Edit/Copy" or ? 2. Do you use KDE3 or KDE4? 3. Do you do any operations with the KDE klipper between the copy and paste operations? 4. Does it help you to modify the KDE clipper setting? Especially, the settings: "Text selection only", "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection? 5. Does it happen when you run OOo in another Window manager? Well, perhaps you are copying and pasting with format [RTF] using the standard toolbar. I, indeed, want that the pasting be formated, but also linked, so the changes of the original sample be mirrored in any place I have pasted it. I uses both Ctrl-C and icons everywhere (Edit menu, standard toolbar, contextual menu) but I need to paste through menus, because I need special pasting functions nor available through Crtl-V. This issue takes place under KDE 4 (updated) and under Gnome (updated). Although I dislike many aspects of KDE 4, I have not installed KDE 3. I will attach an OOo Calc document that details everything: several Klipper configurations bound to Paste Special > Link and Paste > DDE Link (although I am not interested on this second one, because I need to link inside the same document not between documents, I let this here for example). Different Klipper settings do not affect the result. Please, If asked to update it, do not. If you did it, the DDE Links will fail (there is no "Sin nombre1", because I was working with OOo + java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b17-2.1.1 and I had the issue Bug 601243, and, as I did not want to loose my work, including this sample spreadsheet, I downgraded java without closing OOo, and so I could save my work (texts and spreadsheets), but there was no way to save that "Sin nombre1"). Also, I have noticed something else: the new OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 / OOO320m19 (Build:9505) / ooo-build 3.2.1.3 from OBS saves the files without extension (there is no .odt, .ods, & c).

I think this one is for Kohei then. This is a known limitation. When pasting a link, it pastes a reference to the original cell. And a reference can only carry over raw value, not its format. When the whole cell is italic, we can apply that to the cell attribute to replicate the italic format. But when only a part of the content is italic, we can't apply that to the cell attribute, hence we can't replicate it in the pasted cell. BTW Excel appears to have the same limitation there. I'm afraid we can't fix this. Linked cells are formula expressions, and formula expressions cannot carry over formatting properties. |
