Copying from a table control in a form (Base) to a spreadsheet (calc) does not work [closed]
Hi everyone,
This may be a stupid question but I am totally stuck. In base when I want to copy directly from a table, I go to tables, select the appropriate table, open it, select the square in the top - left to select all, copy, paste in calc, done. It is super easy. With queries it is the same.
But when I have a FORM with a TABLE CONTROL (or table widget, or whatever you want to call them). It does not work that way. It is driving me nuts! Select all with top-left square still works in the table control, but when I ctrl-c ctrl-v. only one cel of the table is copied to calc. I want the entire table! Not just one cell!
Is this some issue with 3.5.7.2 (my version now)? I do not understand why it would behave this way. There also seems to be no documentation about this whatsoever. I used the forms to create some tables with a layout suitable for export to another program, but since I cannot copy-paste to calc and save as .csv I am totally stuck. Help is much appreciated.
Kind regards, rhpv
"X does not work" is not really a question. Try to formulate questions that can be answered in a different way than "X does not work? Oh." :)
I think the question is: How do I copy the contents of a table control into a spreadsheet / text file /whatever? There seem to be no obvious way of doing it yet (LO 4.4)
I would edit the question but I don't know how to do it.
