MRU->BH: two things needed in Writer for this: 
- tables should not flow under frames
- a new "text wrapping break" (like word uses here) is needed

I'll split this issue into two separate ones. This issue will handle "Text
wrapping break" problem, "Table should not flow under frames/graphics" will be
handled by issue 75721.
Comment 9 michael.ruess 2007-03-26 11:09:02 UTC 
Wrong info... "Table should not flow under frames/graphics" will be handled by
issue 47692.

After Googling for "Text Wrapping Break" it appears that this is, indeed, the
same issue as 79318 (which I filed). I'd never heard it referred to with that
term before.

However it seems that the implementation of this in MS Word does _not_ have any
effect unless the document is saved as a web page (in other words, it's just
inserting <br clear="all" /> into the HTML), at least according to
http://www.jegsworks.com/Lessons/words/autotools/margins.htm

The point of reporting issue 79318 was that I'd like to see this functionality
included for normal documents, not just those saved as web pages. If this
enhancement ever gets coded, please don't just implement it for files saved as
HTML, as Microsoft appear to have done, as there is a real need for its use in
normal documents as well.

Indeed, an HTML with a paragraph with CSS "clear: both" loses this format when 
imported into OOo.
