Hi,

I'll display an example Table.

These colums are separated by tabs so if you cut'n'paste into OO.o1.9.91 from
your email you might need to separate the ExampleX and the number by inserting tabs.

Type    Item
ExampleA    24
ExampleB    21
ExampleC/ExampleD    18
ExampleE    15

If you use Table -> Convert -> Text to Table [Separate Text at "Tabs"] you will
get a nice two column table sitting perty on the screen.

Now in Word97 and unless I'm totally delusional... previous versions of OO.o I
can convert this table back to text using their "Table to Text" tools and still
get nicely formatted columns due to a new tab generated by the tool.

When I do this in OO.o1.9.91 I get no tab generated by the tool and the table
reverts back to whatever tabs are set up by the default style.

Hope this helps.  Like I said I just can't remember if OO.o in general handles
the conversion like Word97.  This may just become a feature request if not.

MSO sets a tab in each table converted table row at the position of each column,
OOo does not.
Sounds like grounds for an enhancement request.

Previous OO versions didn't handle it differently from newer OO 2.0 versions.
This fuction has never been designed to set a tab at an appropriate position
referring to the table columns.

But of course, this should be a godd addition to this feature.
Reassigned to "requirements".
