Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82109
Pasting Chart from Calc into writer breaks chart
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:21:49 UTC
I will attach a spreadsheet and a writer file. If you paste the chart created in calc into writer ("edit/paste" or "edit/paste special/Star Object Descriptor (XML)", the chart breaks: the source rows and columns for the chart are transposed and an extra empty data column is created. This does not happen, if you paste the metafile, or if you paste into draw or impress. A possible reason for this to happen: in the chart creation wizard I changed “Data ranges in columns†to “data ranges in rows†Since the "Format / Data Ranges" menu item is greyed out in writer, you cannot rectify the problem. A more detailed description is found in the bugdoc file. I'm using the German version, so the exact menu text may be slightly different.

Not reproducible with 2.2.1 WIN XP
@rainerbielefeld: The report is about _version 2.30_ - see the form above! Since the implementation of charting in 2.30 is all new, there are bound to be new bugs! I know it was not there in 2.0.x and not in 2.2.x, nor in 1.1.x, that's why I reported it only now, and as 2.30
I can confirm all details of the report with "2.3.0 Dev. Snapshot WIN XP: [680m222(Build9183)]", the only 2.3 version available on my PC. Funny thing, even if I paste the chart from "Dev. Snapshot" to "2.2.1 WRITER" everything works fine, and with the 'Auto Format' dialogue of 2.2.1, where the radio buttons 'data series in rows' / 'data series in columns' are available, I can change between the correct look and the look in 2.3 WRITER. Although all this only happens in WRITER, I prefer to see this as a CHART issue.
This is a DUP of issue 80225 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 80225 ***
