Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 50319
Offer more structure options for "Text to Table" Conversion
Last modified: 2014-04-11 10:55:31 UTC
We must be able to specify the number of columns of the resulted table. If by chance you have a list separated only by ENTER: Item1_Col1 Item2_Col2 Item3_Col3 Item4_Col1 Item5_Col2 Item6_Col3 Item7_Col1 Item8_Col2 Item9_Col3 and you wish a result like: Item1_Col1 Item2_Col2 Item3_Col3 Item4_Col1 Item5_Col2 Item6_Col3 Item7_Col1 Item8_Col2 Item9_Col3 It's quite hard to obtain it without serious hard work.
Reassigned to requirements.

The same issue remained in 3.1 release. We should have this option in the text to table form: - how many columns do you expect
