Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 41431
Convert table to text converts the whole table even if a row is selected
Last modified: 2014-03-20 19:21:03 UTC
Open a OO.o document with a multi-row multi-column table. Also take care that there is no other paragraph before the table except for the content of the table and the table itself. Now select the topmost row and go to Table > Convert table to text > opt for tabs and click OK. OO.o converts the whole table to text rather than inserting only that row to a paragraph/text.
This is not so easy to implement. The table must be split up in this point to achieve a conversion of the selected cells. Also: what should happen, when only a few clls of a row/column are selected?
