reassigned to sba The item No 1 can be solved by pressing Shift + Enter. I should say this is not standard behaviour. The standard action (at least in Windows application) is called by Ctrl + Enter. So this is still the issue. And the second item is not resolvable (at least I don't know the solution). I want to add more information to this "vertical text flow" bug that has affected also me. My experiences seems to be correlated to this bug. I have a relative long writer document, written with version 1.1.x, that contains several tables. I have attached a stripped down version of that document (since i'm not authorized to make public the original), with the relevant part mantained almost intact. As you can see, in such document the tables have an heading row, in which each cell contains a variable field. In particular there are some of these containing each a name of a month, formatted to display rotated by 90 degrees. The text in the remaining columns are formatted to display horizzontally. I have opened and modified this document many time since the end of 2004, using OOo 1.1.x (now 1.1.5), but now, with OOo 2.0.x (now 2.0.1), the columns vertical oriented, displays truncated: the height of the row is incorrect and seems adapted to fit the horizontal text (i have attached also a screenshot). In these days i've tryed to recover my documents in several ways, but none worked. First i've tried to convert the document to OpenDocument format, with no effect. Then i've tried to modify manually my document, resetting the heading style to "Default formatting" and the reformat like i wanted to be, but every time i save and reopen the document the truncating problem come back. This is the common case. I've also determined other faulty behaviour attempting to recover my document but i can't remember how to reproduce them. Following the steps below fot the document i have attached (and in the original version too) shows the problem in a deterministic manner: 1) Open the document and go to the second table (which is 3 pages longs and during my manual modification sometimes has showed problem in reporting heading changes over the pages); 2) Select the heading row; 3) Right click on the selection and press "Default formatting"; 4) Now select all the heading cells containing a name of a month; 5) Right click on the selection and press "Character...", then go in the "position" tab and set a rotation of 90 degrees and click OK; 6) The document should appear OK; 7) Save and close the document; 8) Reopen and see. I've verified such behaviour both under Windows (2000 professional SP4) and Linux (Debian Sid). The document was originally created under Windows. This bug is very annoying because introduce an incompatibility between the old and the new document format: documents created with the previous version can display incorrectly with OOo 2. Cesare.

The OOo 1.1.x document described above that shows this bug
all 3 problems mentioned here are reproducable (no paragraph breaks, no height limiting, too short height) on Windows XP Pro SP2 with OOo-dev 2.0 (m151) Created attachment 33670 [details]
This is the same document i've attached before, but opened with OOo 1.1.5. Notice that it is ok, no truncation.
