Description sunweb 2013-10-10 08:34:42 UTC
Problem description: 
Can't properly paste the table contents from Calc to table in Writer

Steps to reproduce:
1. open Calc and fill data in A1 and B1 cells.
2. select both cells and copy them
3. open Writer and create the table with 2 columns
4. select both cells and paste special "unformatted text"

Current behavior:
pastes data in the first cell and symbols in the second

Expected behavior:
pastes data from A1 to the first cell and B1 to the next cell

Select 1 cell and paste 2 cells copied from Calc in this very cell = ok
Select 2 cells and paste 2 cells copied from Calc in one cell = not ok
Select 2 cells and paste 2 cells copied from Calc in two cells = ok

Thats very handful feature and MSO does it quite well.

Another not top priority but useful feature is used with the one i desribed. When you pasted more data from Calc to Writer in which table is too small you have a 1 click option to create additional table cells already filled with your data.

It would be really great to have it in LO.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.1.2 release

Hi.. Please see Bug 61329 & you could join there, perhaps these issues had same root.

I'm also marking NEW since I can confirm this bug with LO 4.0.6.1 (Win7 32bit).

But I think this enhancement request should be separated to different report. (please do searching first, maybe someone had reported)

Yes, it seems to be the same problem with the exception that i also added a feature suggestion. Strange but i didn't find this bug when searching through bug tracker, sorry.

While there exists Bug 61329 (with good steps to reproduce and a solution to use extension Paste as value) I suggest this be marked as a duplicate of an older Bug 37223 and then Bug 37223 be added to MAB.
