            Bug ID: 126542
           Summary: copy spreadsheet data into a writer table
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ulrich.krause at amodia.de

Copying spreadsheet data into a writer table does not work as expected:

Procedure:
 - select several cells in LOcalc
 - Ctrl+C
 - switch to a LOwriter doc with a table
 - click into a cell of that table
 - paste

Expected result:
- Values from the selected Calc cells are filled into the respective  Writer
table cells


Actual results depend on the paste mechanism:

a) Crtl+V ("normal" paste)
- a new DDE table is created in the selected table cell

b) Shift+Crtl+V ("special" paste)
- mode "calc8": behaves as in a)
- mode "HTML": Space-separated values in the selected table cell
- mode "unformatted text": Newline-separated values in the selected table cell
- mode "formatted text": New writer table is created in the selected table cell
- (other modes create images or links)

Selecting more than one cell in the writer table before pasting applies this
behaviour to all selected cells in the writer table.

Feature request:
Copy mode so that the values of corresponding cells are filled into the
respective cells in the writer table.

Example:

Selected cells in LOcalc: D5:E7
Ctrl+C
Clicked table cell in wirter: <Tabelle5.B2>
"paste mode" which results in
:
value of <Tabelle5.B2> := values of D5
value of <Tabelle5.B3> := values of D6
value of <Tabelle5.B4> := values of D7
value of <Tabelle5.C2> := values of E5
value of <Tabelle5.C3> := values of E6
value of <Tabelle5.C4> := values of E7

Thanks!
