OpenOffice.org's wordprocessor unfortunately lacks one important feature, that 
is table cells spanning (multiple) page boundaries.

This feature is needed for all kinds of reporting activity, like meeting
minutes, activity lists as well as for the layout of manual pages, where more 
than 2 columns are needed and cell entries usually consist of several lines of
texts, probably more than fits on one page.

Other wordprocessor software like MS-Word or Lotus Word have been providing 
this functionality for years, so its also an important issue regarding
compatibility with other Office products.

With the current version of OpenOffice.org you end up with either the contents
of your table cell not being displayed - lines vanish at bottom, if you use
more lines than fit on one page, or - if you are using more cells with large
number of lines but each cell with less lines than fit on one page - your
layout looks ugly garbled because up to the half of each page remains empty
when OOo attempts to rearrange display so that at least the stuff can be
displayed.

I hope this functionality will be provided in the near future.

Thanks in advance,

Guido
