Description towsonu2003 2006-03-15 14:41:51 UTC 
We only have a "perfect" transfer of formatting information from CALC to WRITER
if the spreadsheet contents is pasted with Menu "Edit - Paste Special - 'as CALC8'".

All other methods of paste (RTF) have worse results with loss of format information.
This is harmful, because often it is not possible to paste in CALC8-format, for
example if the spreadsheet contents exceeds page length in writer. 

Users of MS-products WORD and EXCEL are used to better results concerning format
transfer, so that this can be a migration restraint.

Please refer to testkits in issue #63175 for demonstration of lack of format
support in RTF.

Please don't refer to another issue as problem description while this issue has
been closed as INVALID because of its lack of informative (unclear description)
contents.

I have reopen issue #63175 and reassigned it to rainerbielefeld who will
generate well-written issues for all those problems.

Thank you!
