Copying spreadsheet data into a writer table does not work as expected: Procedure: - select several cells in LOcalc - Ctrl+C - switch to a LOwriter doc with a table - click into a cell of that table - paste Expected result: - Values from the selected Calc cells are filled into the respective Writer table cells Actual results depend on the paste mechanism: a) Crtl+V ("normal" paste) - a new DDE table is created in the selected table cell b) Shift+Crtl+V ("special" paste) - mode "calc8": behaves as in a) - mode "HTML": Space-separated values in the selected table cell - mode "unformatted text": Newline-separated values in the selected table cell - mode "formatted text": New writer table is created in the selected table cell - (other modes create images or links) Selecting more than one cell in the writer table before pasting applies this behaviour to all selected cells in the writer table. Feature request: Copy mode so that the values of corresponding cells are filled into the respective cells in the writer table. Example: Selected cells in LOcalc: D5:E7 Ctrl+C Clicked table cell in wirter: <Tabelle5.B2> "paste mode" which results in : value of <Tabelle5.B2> := values of D5 value of <Tabelle5.B3> := values of D6 value of <Tabelle5.B4> := values of D7 value of <Tabelle5.C2> := values of E5 value of <Tabelle5.C3> := values of E6 value of <Tabelle5.C4> := values of E7 Thanks!
confirming, with ms word/excel 2016 it works, if the writer table cells are selected before pasting data.
Created attachment 152999 [details] copy and paste into existing writer table
already reproducible with AOO 4.1.5. attached screenshot shows what happens if data is pasted special with option "unformatted Text".
With LO 6.3.2.2 it works as expected : - Values from the selected Calc cells are filled into the respective Writer table cells But still the same problem if the cells are copied from MS EXCEL 2007.
I do not confirm Danny's experience. Can you post a screencast?
Created attachment 154801 [details] Copy from Lo Calc OK, Copy from MS Excel KO When you copy/paste from LO Calc to an Existing Writer table, everything works as expected. (B) But when you copy/paste from MS Excel (2007), it pastes an entire table in the selected cell(s). (A/A1)
(In reply to Danny from comment #6) > When you copy/paste from LO Calc to an Existing Writer table, everything > works as expected. (B) This part was fixed in bug 37223.
This part works perfectly,I just mentioned it as a reference. The part I'm actually interested in is : Copy from MS Excel paste in LO Writer. It seems like a pretty basic feature, especially when it comes to a MS => LO transition. That would be nice to have that feature in the next release. Thanks!!
Hi! Just to keep this bug "alive". I just downloaded the latest version (LO 6.3.3.2 / Win_x64). The problem still exists: When you copy an Excel(2007) table to an existing Writer table. The entire (copied) table goes to a single cell. Expected behavior: Each cell goes to one cell and formatting must be kept. That's what it does when you copy a table from LO Calc. Can you please add that feature to the next version. THANK YOU!!!!!
Hello! Still doesn't work with the latest version Version: 6.4.0.3 (Win_x64). Please!! I've been waiting for so many years. Thanks!!!
Hi! I just installed the latest version: 6.4.4 (Win_x64). There's still no way to paste an MS Excel(2007) into a LO Writer table. I even tried the 7.0Dev version and it's the same result which means that even the next version won't have that feature. :( :( :(. Please HELP! THANKS!!!
Low priority because there should be two workarounds: - select cells in Writer before paste, per comment 1 - open in Calc and then paste to Writer
