Description jdfristrom 2005-09-23 00:10:06 UTC 
Discovered this in 1.1.5 and reproduced in 1.9.130.  Text that has linefeeds
instead of paragraph breaks, when converted to a table, does not use the
linefeeds to break rows.  You end up with everything on the same row;  it took
me a long time to figure out what was wrong.

This is actually the expected behaviour of both 2.0 and all previous versions of
OOo.  The text-to-table conversion sees paragraph breaks, not line breaks, as
row delimiters.  As this isn't a defect, I am closing the issue.

If you have large amounts of text ending in line-breaks which you wish to
convert to a table, I'd suggest using Find & Replace to change the line-breaks
to paragraph breaks.

As Mark_westonpointed out, this works as designed. Closed issue.
