with version 1.9.87 in writer : the change of the line spacing from the standard "simple" to 1,5 or double has no visible effect if each cell in the table is filled with only one line: create a new writer document - create a table, fill in some text in each case (but only one line, one paragraph, e.g. numbers - mark the table ( I also checked with marking only one row, one cell etc) - either click right, chose "line spacing" and chose "double" or use format / Paragraph -> no effect, the table stays the same. if there is a line break within a cell or several paragraphs, then the double spacing is working In MS Word, changing the line spacing to double when othere is only one line in each cell increases anyway the space below the text. Double line spacing is very often used to give a paper copy of text to a colleague to correct, with the double line spacing he can write his corrections between the lines. In MS Word this also works with tables, in OOWriter I can't find a way to do it.
MRU->FME: this sounds like a new "compatibility" option. In deed, in MS Word it has the described effect on the spacing between paragraphs inside tables.
