Calc document with Tables
When copying tables from a Calc spreadsheet to an Impress presentation, basic
formatting should be retained, or else the user will have to reformat the table
all over again.
I attached 2 files to this bug report. The first one is a Calc document with 6
sample tables and the second is the Impress file showing how they got pasted
into the document.
It's interesting to note that the only formatting that is retained is the bold
face of fonts. However, other important elements are not retained, such as:
- Font name
- Font size
- Border formatting
- Background color
Hence, it would be very useful if, when a table is copied from a Calc document
into an Impress document, that it maintains basic formatting.
What I have been doing to overcome this issue is pasting Calc tables as OLE
objects. However, this is not ideal due to <a class="bz_bug_link

many OLE objects make documents too heavy and slow to edit.</pre>
