Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19772
Property adjustment Windows
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:23 UTC
It would be extremely helpful if the property adjustment windows were made floating (such as say CorelDraw or Lotus' WordPro), so that changes can be applied without closing the window. That way several adjustments (or several items can be changed) and the effect observed before closing the window, so saving considerable time as well as greatly enhancing funtionality. : Being able to fix column widths, in any order, would also greatly ease the adjustment of a table to suit it's position in a document. As it is, it is a matter of guesswork, or using a calculator, if you need a particular column, towards the right hand side, to be a given size since adjustment has to be done from the left hand side.
