You want to be part of the User Experience Team? Then please refer to [[User Experience/Community/How To Join|How to Join]].

= How to add you to the list =

If you would like to add some information, please allow me to give some remarks:
* The OpenOffice.org login name is the name which does also serve as you email address (''loginname''@openoffice.org).
* The comments may contain your motivation for joining the UX project.
* The special interest states your personal interest or special knowledge for OpenOffice.org UX. It may be interesting for both people outside the team and us to judge what knowledge we can provide and what is missing. Just add:
** OpenOffice.org (the complete OpenOffice.org office suite)
** one or more names of modules (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base, ...)
** other areas of interest (website, installer, ...)
* Please do not forget to add the date of your data's last update in the format YYYY-MM-DD. (This is an indicator for the up-to-dateness and helps us to directly contact people who may still be in this list, but don't have any interest anymore. For us, it's far easier than searching in the the Wiki page [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=User_Experience/Team&action=history history]).

Ex-Co-Lead of http://ux.openoffice.org (January - December 2007)

web : http://www.mprove.de
blog: http://uxooo.blogspot.com/

== Outro ==

Hi, I will move on to work for a different product at Sun. Therefore it does not make sense to continue to be a co-lead for the User Experience Project any longer. It was a fun ride.
cheers,
Matthias

== Intro ==

Howdy,

I would like to introduce myself. Long overdue. But here we go.

Matthias Müller-Prove, Diplom (MSc) in Computer Science at U of Hamburg with special focus on human-computer interaction and the history of hypertext and graphical user interfaces.

Before Sun I worked for Adobe Systems as User Interface Manager (among other job titles) on the web editor Adobe GoLive (fka Cyberstudio).

Then I joined Sun Microsystems - 5 years ago - to work as Product Manager and User Experience Engineer. Those were the days of OpenOffice.org 1.1. Remember?

I am glad that we finally opened this discuss channel for issues affecting the user experience of OOo. Lot's of stuff has happened over the past years -- but it was very very scattered among issues and specifications.

As co-lead of the ux.ooo project, my goal is to inspire an active community of usability and design professionals to improve the user experience of OOo.

cheers from Hamburg,
Matthias

== Outro ==

Hi, I have decided to leave Sun by end of 2007. Therefore it does not make sense to continue to be a co-lead for the User Experience Project any longer. It was a fun ride.
cheers,
Matthias

== Intro ==

Howdy,

I would like to introduce myself. Long overdue. But here we go.

Matthias Müller-Prove, Diplom (MSc) in Computer Science at U of Hamburg with special focus on human-computer interaction and the history of hypertext and graphical user interfaces.

Before Sun I worked for Adobe Systems as User Interface Manager (among other job titles) on the web editor Adobe GoLive (fka Cyberstudio).

Then I joined Sun Microsystems - 5 years ago - to work as Product Manager and User Experience Engineer. Those were the days of OpenOffice.org 1.1. Remember?

I am glad that we finally opened this discuss channel for issues affecting the user experience of OOo. Lot's of stuff has happened over the past years -- but it was very very scattered among issues and specifications.

As co-lead of the ux.ooo project, my goal is to inspire an active community of usability and design professionals to improve the user experience of OOo.

cheers from Hamburg,
Matthias

[[Category:Extensions]]
[[Category:Firefox]]

== Firefox OpenOffice.org Add-on ==
This is an add-on for the Firefox 1.x and 2.x webbrowser.

[[Image:Ffe_StartMenu.png|center|frame|Firefox extension menu]]

[[Image:Oooff-menu104.png|center|frame|complete menu structure v1.0.4]]

=== Usability Issues ===
* too many unstructured items in first level (11).
** Recommendation: add dividers and reorganize menu tree
* terminology not consistent with ooo's website
** Recommendation: update terminology and do not use abbreviations
* menu icons too similar and not complete.
** Recommendation: don't use any icons for the extension

=== Proposal for v1.1 ===
;Legend
: bold is used for updated strings and URLs
: green is used for new items

;Proposed Menu Structure
[[Image:Oooff-menu105MMP.png|center|frame|updated menu structure for v1.1 (final proposal)]]

== Search context menu ==
The OpenOffice.org search context menu sends the currently selected text to
* OpenOffice.org Advanced Search Page
* Start a query on Google.com
* Queries for a bug on IssueZilla
* Wikipedia (English)
* Send all four search requests
A new browser tab opens with the result of the query.

Open a web page and select a word for which you want to run a query.
Click the right key and choose from the context menu 'OpenOffice.org Context search'.
A new sub menu shows up. Choose now the search engine for the query.
[[Image:contextMenu.png|center|frame|Search context menu]]

== Outro ==

Hi, I have decided to leave Sun by end of 2007. Therefore it does not make sense to continue to be a co-lead for the User Experience Project any longer. It was a fun ride.
cheers,
Matthias

== Intro ==

Howdy,

I would like to introduce myself. Long overdue. But here we go.

Matthias Müller-Prove, Diplom (MSc) in Computer Science at U of Hamburg with special focus on human-computer interaction and the history of hypertext and graphical user interfaces.

Before Sun I worked for Adobe Systems as User Interface Manager (among other job titles) on the web editor Adobe GoLive (fka Cyberstudio).

Then I joined Sun Microsystems - 5 years ago - to work as Product Manager and User Experience Engineer. Those were the days of OpenOffice.org 1.1. Remember?

I am glad that we finally opened this discuss channel for issues affecting the user experience of OOo. Lot's of stuff has happened over the past years -- but it was very very scattered among issues and specifications.

As co-lead of the ux.ooo project, my goal is to inspire an active community of usability and design professionals to improve the user experience of OOo.

cheers from Hamburg,
Matthias

Information Sharing/Findings

2008-02-01T15:52:05Z

Mmp: /* ToDos */ done

== Defect Categories ==

;Total absence of necessary Information
:Pages which contain no, too less, or unrelated Information with regard to the topic. Information which is related to the topic but is insufficient or too vague to explain the topic is considered of being also in this defect category

;Outdated Information
:Pages which contain information that does not apply anymore to the current state of the topic, but only to an old version or status.

;Up-to-date but not open accessible Information
:Pages which contain Information that is relevant to the community but not accessible by all community members (e.g. contributors) and participants (e.g. Users)

;Redundant Information
:Pages which hold the same contents in OOo web site and OO wiki. This type of Information is doublicate and has to be held in sync in order to produce no Information defect of the type "outdated"

;Outdated and not open accessible Information
:Pages which contain information that does not apply anymore to the current state of the topic, but only to an old version or status and is not accessible to the community. The owner should re-evauate if this information is to be updated and transferred to open accessible infrastructure, to archive, or to delete.

== OOo Website ==
Matthias has started to create a Information Architecture (IA) -oriented site map:

# [http://ux.openoffice.org/reports/2007/website/sitestructure.odp OOo Website Structure]

His '''initial findings''' of inconsistencies, looking at it from an UX perspective are:
* the header is different for home and project pages: the search function is top right, respectively integrated into the leftnav
* the home page has no user account feature
* the left navbar is optional, ie. some projects have removed this area o esp. Support has no left navbar, which offers Search, Sitemap, FAQ, Get Help?
* logout leads to the login/register page. By doing this it changes the context entirely.
* <ironic> do not visit the support page if you need support </ironic> It is a textual mess.

Information Sharing/Meetings

2008-02-01T15:50:44Z

Mmp:

== 25-Oct-2007, 6th meeting ==

== 11-Sep-2007 ==
== 27-Sep-2007 ==
Attending: Martin and Matthias
* We talked about ooo statistics available to admins. This is a very sparse situation. Browsing and counting by hand or semi-automatic scraping seems to be the way to go.
* Matthias has now write access to http://contributing.openoffice.org/index.html and http://development.openoffice.org/

== 6-Sep-2007 ==

Attending: Martin, Matthias, Frank

=== Agenda ===
* Involvement of [http://documentation.openoffice.org/ OOo Documentation Project]
* Special guest: Frank Peters /FPE

=== ''Minutes by Matthias'' ===
Frank (alas the http://documentation.openoffice.org project) distinguishes between 3 groups.
;Users
:- users of OOo
:- developers who want to develop extensions or use OOo's API
:- admins, who want to know how to install and configure OOo
;Contributers
:People who like to write and improve the documentation for the user group
;Core Developers
:People who like to improve the source code of OOo by adding new features and fixing bugs.

The scope of the documentation project is users and contributers, while we (Information Sharing) tackle the information demand for core developers.

FPE: What's needed is a '''manager for the core development documentation'''. Someone who is responsible for
# access/portal to the documentation
# completeness/comprehensiveness
# up to date of information
# ...

New information needs to be communicated to the core development documentation manager, who in turn can update the portal. She has to respond to the requirements of her users (core developers) and structure the information on her pages.

MH: We tried this approach with '''http://development.openoffice.org'''. which failed due to insufficient developer's focus of the page maintainer.

FPE: Take '''ooo-wiki''' as an example. It grows in a self-organized way that leads to a mess -- or it can have more structured areas with well-defined rules. Wiki subpages can define such areas with the advantage to even search with Google in this subpage space on the wiki exclusively.

MMP: Categories are also very "free-style". Enhanced visibility for categories can help to motivate people to consolidate categories.

FPE: For all ooo projects introduce a category on the wiki. In fact, create 2 categories for each development project: one for public core developer documentation and the other as playground for the project.

MMP: and add links for the project.ooo.org pages to the wiki and vice versa.

FPE: says good bye. see u at OOoCon to talk about the state&fate of the ooo-wiki

MH: Let's take (for a moment) the perspective to create '''a book with documentation for core developers'''. Use a space on the wiki to collect the chapters according to a reasonable outline (how to get the code, how to built, software architecture of OOo, how to contribute, etc.). Many "pages" are already there -- just in a very scattered way and with different level of editorial style.

Once the wiki version is complete we can transfer it to OOo and create a real book - if we want ([[MediaWiki_Extension_Use_Cases#Creating_WikiReader]]).

Martin will create a simple outline for such a book project.

== 9-Aug-2007 ==
Attending: Stefan, Martin, Matthias

=== ''Minutes by Matthias'' ===

==== so-doc analysis ====
Martin prepared an analysis of all files of so-doc by age/type/team

The vast majority of files is stone-age old. It also seems that we use so-doc more like a team server rather than a document server (whatever the difference is).

How can we find the nuggets, alas, the valid information that should better be hosted somewhere on ooo? The age is just an indicator. It is no sufficient heuristic to decide on the fate of the files.

==== defects ====
===== defect category =====
We identified a fifth defect category: '''redundant information''' (between ooo.org and ooo-wiki)
;Example
:Someone hosts information on his ooo project site and on the ooo-wiki because the wiki does not offer the same left navbar as the ooo project sites do.

The five defect categories are:
# total absence of necessary information
# outdated information
# up-to-date but not open accessible information
# redundant information
# ( outdated and not open accessible information )

cf. [[Information Sharing Findings#Defect Categories]]

==== How to record defects (->measure of success) ====
1) IssueTracker is an option.
:Information defects (according to the 5 defect categories) are submitted to IssueTracker.
:The OOo Team Leads will be the default owner for such issues.
:Pros: official, trackable, manageable
Stefan will present the idea in Michael's staff meeting.

2) assign a category to pages that need attention
;Examples
: for so-wiki: Template:MoveToOOo
: for ooo-wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion

==== MediaWiki extensions ====
Are there any extensions to MediaWiki which could help to do a better job?
;AI for all
: Matthias: how do the flags work on Wikipedia? -- ("This article needs your attention")
: Martin: web tracking for MediaWiki, generate automatic site structure for MediaWiki sites?
: Stefan: utilize Omniture Sitecatalyst to identify non frequented pages

==== Search ====
===== Unified Search for all ooo =====
Goal is to eliminate redundancies in favor to reduce search match doublets

Martin suggests to use Google over custom search engines for each oo site.

===== Search Engine Optimization (SEO) =====
Which search terms in Google lead to what pages on ooo?
What search terms are used most often?
We can have a look into SEO.
* PageRank for our entry pages
* use of keywords
* proper use of HTML (also goot for accessibility)

===== Omniture Sitecatalyst to identify non frequented pages (consolidation) =====
Omniture can track the frequency of page visits for ooo. This data should be used to inform the project leads and to reveal insights on how to improve the project sites and to identify opportunities to combine distributed information.

==== ooo sitemap ====
Matthias has started to create a Information Architecture (IA) -oriented site map:
* [http://ux.openoffice.org/reports/2007/website/sitestructure.odp OOo Website Structure] by Matthias

Initial findings
* the header is different for home and project pages: the search function is top right, respectively integrated into the leftnav
* the home page has no user account feature
* the left navbar is optional, ie. some projects have removed this area
** esp. Support has no left navbar, which offers Search, Sitemap, FAQ, Get Help?
* logout leads to the login/register page. By doing this it changes the context entirely.
* <ironic> do not visit the support page if you need support </ironic> It is a textual mess.

== 27-Jul-2007 kick-off ==
Attending: Stefan, Martin, Matthias
=== ''Minutes by Stefan'' ===

==== What leads to this project ====
* problems occurred with new contributors (CH2000) who didn't find the info they needed, asking the developers and got a pointer to outdated info, asking about outdated info - the developer agrees - end of story

Michael Bemmer was involved in this incident and researched himself a bit in our information infrastructure. Doing this he got aware of the following facts:
Our informational infrastructure is way too complex to be able to acquire helpful information easily. Many documents and sites are outdated, some not accessible to the whole community because posted on Sun internal media, or simply not existent.

Michael Bemmer champions this project and expect a list of "where to post what" recommendations as one of the outcomes of this project.
He further expects the evaluation of internal information infrastructure (e.g.so-doc) wrt. outdated,"old", information pieces and wrt. the question if we could probably get rid of some medias in favor of less ambiguity

==== Why the SMEs (MH,MMP) ====
MH as the technical OOo guy and generalist for all kind of issues around community related issues, and MMP as highly skilled communication and UX "scientist" seem to be the perfect team for the job.

Both agreed on the charter so far, but all the three team members are aware of the fact that minor adaption to the charter may still be necessary. The team also agreed on the schedule of a weekly meeting, 12 times from now on which means immediate action.

==== The team talked about the following further topics: ====
* necessity of a rule of separation between information and communication, which I currently break with this mail :))

* Ownership
** project page maintenance
** doorman to guide new developers
** active acquisition
** address website problems

* information transfer internal -> external
* information restructure (site)
* presentation about communication and the responsibility of the sender

==== Further things I would like to mention/discuss with the Team: ====

As far as I see we got 4 classes of defects
# total absence of necessary information
# outdated information
# up-to-date but not open accessible information
# ( outdated and not open accessible information )

As we are not doing a Sigma Project we should start to proceed the "just-do-it" kinda things
What are these? Actually as soon as you discover one of the former categorized defects take care that it'll be addressed and log it.
;example:
:When you hit an outdated page, record it in a list and take immediate action like contact the owner to fix it.

We were all not too happy with the goal statement what about this here?

==== Possible adjusted goal statement: ====
Improve the ability of community participants to access relevant information

Whenever a PDF is selected in the Open dialog and the PDF is not a Hyprid PDF then the user has to choose in which application (Writer, Impress, Draw) the PDF shall be imported. This is done by a subsequent dialog that shows up after the Open dialog has been dismissed.

;Dialog Title
:PDF Import Options

; Controls
*'''"Import '%FILENAE' as"''' is the label for the following combo control. FILENAME is the filename of the PDF document.
* A combo control to choose between "Text Document", "Presentation" and "Drawing". The default value is "Drawing". But the value is persistent (i.e. the next time the dialog is used, the previously selected option is preselected.)
* A static text field that explains the pros&cons of the currently selected option. It changes according to the current selection of the combo control:
** Text Document - "Choose 'Text Document' to edit major parts of the text. The document might look different because of reformatting."
** Presentation - "Choose 'Presentation' to edit the slides of a presentation in PDF format."
** Drawing - "Choose 'Drawing' to edit minor details of the PDF document. This option is best to preserve the layout."

;Buttons
* Help, Import, Cancel
* Import is the default button for the dialog.

;Mockup
[[ Image:PDFImportOptions.png|center|frame|PDF Import Options (mockup [[User:Mmp|Mmp]],18:40, 28 November 2007 (CET)]]

;Open Issues
* A thumbnail of the PDF can and should be shown -> dialog layout?
* The filename of the PDF should be shown -> a new string above the combo control?

Pdf Import Extension

== Mission Statement ==
''Provide an extension to import PDF documents with OpenOffice.org''

== People ==
# Thorsten Behrens, thb AT openoffice DOT org
# akhva AT openoffice DOT org
# hi AT openoffice DOT org
# [[Matthias Müller-Prove]] as user experience engineer

== Documentation ==
* [[Writer/ToDo/PDF Import]]
* [[Agile Experiment PDF-Import 2007]]
* [[Pdf Import Extension/Current Architecture]]
* [http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/pdf_import/PDFImportUserStories.odt User Stories] by [[User:Mmp|Mmp]], 16:48, 13 November 2007 (CET)

== User Interface ==
=== PDF Import Options Dialog ===
Whenever a PDF is selected in the Open dialog and the PDF is not a Hyprid PDF then the user has to choose in which application (Writer, Impress, Draw) the PDF shall be imported. This is done by a subsequent dialog that shows up after the Open dialog has been dismissed.

;Dialog Title
:PDF Import Options

; Controls
*'''"Import PDF as"''' is a combo control to choose between "Text Document", "Presentation" and "Drawing". The default value is "Drawing". But the value is persistent (i.e. the next time the dialog is used, the previously selected option is preselected.)
* A static text field that explains the pros&cons of the currently selected option. It changes according to the current selection of the combo control:
** Text Document - "Choose 'Text Document' to edit major parts of the text. The document might look different because of reformatting."
** Presentation - "Choose 'Presentation' to edit the slides of a presentation in PDF format."
** Drawing - "Choose 'Drawing' to edit minor details of the PDF document. This option is best to preserve the layout."

;Buttons
* Help, Import, Cancel
* Import is the default button for the dialog.

;Mockup
[[ Image:PDFImportOptions.png|center|frame|PDF Import Options (mockup [[User:Mmp|Mmp]],18:40, 28 November 2007 (CET)]]

;Open Issues
* A thumbnail of the PDF can and should be shown -> dialog layout?
* The filename of the PDF should be shown -> a new string above the combo control?

== Outro ==

Hi, I have decided to leave Sun by end of 2007. Therefore it does not make sense to continue to be a co-lead for the User Experience Project any longer. It was a fun ride.
cheers,
Matthias

== Intro ==

Howdy,

I would like to introduce myself. Long overdue. But here we go.

Matthias Müller-Prove, Diplom (MSc) in Computer Science at U of Hamburg with special focus on human-computer interaction and the history of hypertext and graphical user interfaces.

Before Sun I worked for Adobe Systems as User Interface Manager (among other job titles) on the web editor Adobe GoLive (fka Cyberstudio).

Then I joined Sun Microsystems - 5 years ago - to work as Product Manager and User Experience Engineer. Those were the days of OpenOffice.org 1.1. Remember?

I am glad that we finally opened this discuss channel for issues affecting the user experience of OOo. Lot's of stuff has happened over the past years -- but it was very very scattered among issues and specifications.

As co-lead of the ux.ooo project, my goal is to inspire an active community of usability and design professionals to improve the user experience of OOo.

cheers from Hamburg,
Matthias

== Outro ==

Hi, I have decided to leave Sun by end of 2007. Therefore it does not make sense to continue to be a co-lead for the User Experience Project any longer. It was a fun ride.
cheers,
Matthias

== Intro ==

Howdy,

I would like to introduce myself. Long overdue. But here we go.

Matthias Müller-Prove, Diplom (MSc) in Computer Science at U of Hamburg with special focus on human-computer interaction and the history of hypertext and graphical user interfaces.

Before Sun I worked for Adobe Systems as User Interface Manager (among other job titles) on the web editor Adobe GoLive (fka Cyberstudio).

Then I joined Sun Microsystems - 5 years ago - to work as Product Manager and User Experience Engineer. Those were the days of OpenOffice.org 1.1. Remember?

I am glad that we finally opened this discuss channel for issues affecting the user experience of OOo. Lot's of stuff has happened over the past years -- but it was very very scattered among issues and specifications.

As co-lead of the ux.ooo project, my goal is to inspire an active community of usability and design professionals to improve the user experience of OOo.

cheers from Hamburg,
Matthias

== Abstract ==
Currently OpenOffice.org Impress lacks the native support for tables. It is possible to create tables by embedding a OpenOffice.org Calc object or by 'drawing' a table by using multiple shapes. Both methods are neither user friendly nor accessible. The user expects a native support for tables like it is available in the OpenOffice.org Writer application for example. This specification defines a feature set that a common user expects from a native table implementation in OpenOffice.org Impress and also how it should be accessible on the user interface. It also takes into account the interoperability requirements with other similar products.
This specification only talks about tables in Impress. The same feature can and will be integrated in OpenOffice.org Draw. If there is a need for differences in the user interface for tables in Draw they will be documented either in a separate chapter in this specification or in another specification for tables in Draw.

== Detailed Specification ==

=== Table Contents ===
A table in impress is presented to the user as a shape. All patterns that apply to all generic shapes also apply to tables. A table shape is a rectangle area build of cells that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. All rows and columns are always completely visible inside the rectangle that defines the table. No scrolling is needed to see all tables if the table itself is completely visible. Resizing the table itself will also resize the containing cells so that all cells fit in the new rectangle. Adjacent cells can be merged so that the first merged cell occupies the area of all merged cells. All other merged cells will be invisible as long as they are part of a merge. A cell itself can contain text with multiple paragraphs.

=== Table Properties ===

==== Position & Size ====
As a shape, the table shape is placed on a slide and has a position and a size. Table shapes can not be rotated, so the position and size defines the rectangle area on the slide that is used to render all contained cells, excluding shadow and reflection. In contrast to using an embedded Calc object for tables, the position and size during editing a tables contents in Impress is always “what you see is what you get”.

==== Style ====
Each table shape will have a table style assigned that defines the formating properties for the cells if the properties are not hard set on the table or cell itself. Table styles are described in Change Me

==== Formating properties ====

Formating properties can be hard set on the table. They will override the formating properties from the table style and are used when the user creates new content like text or new cells. If the user sets new formating properties to a table, these properties will also be hard set to each cell in that table. The following properties are supported

* cell properties (TODO: com.sun.star.text.CellProperties or com.sun.star.table.CellProperties)
* character properties (com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesComplex )
* paragraph properties (com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesComplex )
* fill properties (com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties)

==== Layout properties ====
Layout properties are hard set on the table. They help define the overall layout of the table and how the table style is used on the containing cells.

==== Table Styles ====
This is the first section in the Table Design task pane
;String, '''bold'''
Table Styles

==== Table Style Options ====
This is the second section in the Table Design task pane
;String, '''bold'''
Options

==== Header Row ====
;String
Header row
If enabled, all cells of the first row are using the header row formating from the table style

==== Total Row ====
;String
Total row
If enabled, all cells in the last row are using the total row formating from the table style

==== Banded Rows ====
;String
Banded rows
If enabled, all cells from even rows are using the even horizontal banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== First Column ====
;String
First column
If enabled, all cells in the first column are using the first column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Last Column ====
;String
Last column
If enabled, all cells in the last column are using the last column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Columns ====
;String
Banded columns
If enabled, all cells from even columns are using the even vertical banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

=== Row Properties ===

==== Height ====
If a row has an assigned height, this is the absolute height of that row. If no height is assigned, a best fit algorithm is used to calculate the height depending on the maximum text height of all cells in that row, the height of all other rows and the overall table height. The sum of all column heights must not exceed the height of the table shape. If this is designated than the height of the table shape must also be changed to fit all rows.

=== Column Properties ===

==== Width ====

Each column has an assigned with. The sum of all column width must be exactly the width of the table shape.

=== Cell Properties ===

Each cell supports all formatting properties that are also available on the table itself. All properties set on the cell directly override the properties from the table style. Which of the formatting options from the tables style is used depends on the tables layout properties. The default formatting option is the uneven horizontal banding formation. Formatting properties set directly on the table do not override the formatting properties on cells, they are only used when creating new cells or adding text to cells without text.

==== Horizontal Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a horizontal range of merged cells, this property defines the number of horizontal cells that are merged.

==== Vertical Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a vertical range of merged cells, this property defines the number of vertical cells that are merged.

==== Merged ====
All cells that are part of a range of merged cells, excluding the first cell, have this property set.

=== Selection and Focus ===

* A selection consist of one or more selected cells.
* If a selection is available there will be no text cursor visible.
* If an operation creates the text cursor, all selected cells will be deselected.
* A cell has the focus if there is a text cursor inside that cell.
* If an operation needs a cell with a focus and no cell has the focus but there is an active selection, the first cell of that selection will become the focus.
* There can only be either a text selection or selected cells, not both. Creating a text selection deselects all cells. Selecting cells deselects all selected text.

=== Table Designs ===

Table designs can be changed from the Table Design pane on the task panel.
;String
Table Design

- DISCUSS: Should this open automatic if a table is selected?
* PRO: Feature is more visible to the user
* CON: Assigning an effect to a table is harder to do, since the Custom Animation pane must be re selected by hand each time a table is selected.

A Table Design is a set of predefined cell styles that are dynamically assigned to the cells of a table.
The styles available are

* header row
* total row
* first column
* last column
* vertical banding
* horizontal banding
* default

For each individual table it can be customized which of the first six
styles are used. If none of the first six styles is used or available,
the default style of the Table Design will be used.
The first style in the list that is available in the Table Design and
used by the table is assigned to a cell.
For example the top left cell will get the "header row" style if it is
available and the table is formated to use the header row. If not, it
gets the first column style, if that is available and the table is
formated to use the first column. If not, vertical banding is checked,
than horizontal banding and if nothing fits, the default is used.

The default style is also the parent style for all other styles of a
table design. This means that all settings from the default style
are also applied to the other styles, unless they are hard set in
the other styles.

A cell style for a Table Design can contain text formating, background
filling and cell border formating.

=== Operations on Tables ===

This section documents all the operations a user can apply to tables.

==== Insert ====

Tables can be inserted with the table slot from either the insert menu or the "Standard", "Insert" or "Table" tool bar.
When using the tool bar a drop down floating window opens where the user can select the initial number of columns
and rows.

[[image:Insert_Table_Preview.png|Inserting a table using the "Standard" tool bar and the mouse]]

==== Resizing ====
When resizing a table shape the following constrains must be met
* All cells must have at least a minimum with and height
* All cells must be big enough to format and display all its text contents without clipping or over painting their borders.
If the user try to resize a table to a size that can not fulfill the above constrains the application will automatically increase the table shape width and height until all constrains are fulfilled. The application will give priority to the width and will only change height if possible.

==== Text editing ====
If text is added to a cell that does not fit to the width of the cell, automatic line breaking is performed to format the text inside the cells width. If the formatted text still does not fit the cell then the height of the row for that cell is increased until the formatted text fits both the fixed with and the new cell height.
If text is removed from a cell and the size of the row is not fixed, the application automatically tries to reduce the height of the row until it has the minimum size to contain the contents of all cells in that row.
If as a result of text editing, the height of a row is changed, the height of the table shape is also changed so it exactly fits the new sizes.

==== Delete Columns ====
If cells are selected, all columns that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the column with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Delete Rows ====
If cells are selected, all rows that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the row with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Insert Above ====
A new row is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted before the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is inserted before the first row of the table.

==== Insert Below ====
A new row is inserted after the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted after the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is appended to the last row of the table.

==== Insert Left ====
A new column is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted before the column with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted before the first column of the table.

==== Insert Right ====
A new column is inserted left to the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted left to the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted at the left of the table.

==== Merge Cells ====
All selected cells are merged so that the first cell fills out the space of all other selected cells. All other selected cells become invisible. All text content of the selected cells is merged into the first cell. The first cell is the cell in the first selected row and the first selected column. Cells from different rows and columns can be merged, as long as the area defined by the rectangles of all cells contains no cells that will not be part of the merge. For example You can not merge Cell A1 with A3 as the merged rectangle would include A2. You can not merge A1 with A2 and B1 as the merged rectangle includes B2. You can not merge A1 with A2 if A2 is already merged with B2 as the merged rectangle would include B1.
If there is no valid selection of more than one cell, this operation is disabled.

==== Split Cells ====
If this operation is executed, the “Split Cells Dialog” pops up and asks the user how many new columns and rows he wants for all selected cells. If that dialog is not canceled then all selected cells are split so that they each contain the new number of rows and cells in the same area of the old selected cells. If no cell is selected than this operation is performed only on the cell with the focus. If no cell is selected and there is no cell with the focus then this operation is disabled.
If the newly created cells are smaller than the minimum defined cell width or height the table shape is automatically resized to fit the new cells with the minimum width or height.
Internally splitting a cell is done by adding new rows and or columns and merging adjacent cells.

==== Change Row Height ====
If the user changes the height of a row, this row becomes fixed size. It can't be made smaller than the minimum cell height. If the height of a row is increased, the height of the table shape is also increased to fit the new row height.

==== Change Column Width ====
If the user changes the width of a column, the width of the next column will be reduced so that the width of the table stays constant. The width of a column can not be smaller than the minimum cell width. If a columns width can only be increased as long as the next columns width is bigger than the minimum cell width. If the last column is resized, the width of the table is resized to fit the new column width.

==== Distribute Rows Equally ====
This operation makes all rows the same height. This is the height of the table shape divided by the number of rows.

==== Distribute Columns Evenly ====
This operation makes all columns the same width. This is the width of the table shape divided by the number of columns.

==== Select Row ====
This operation adds all cells in one row to the current selection.

==== Select Column ====
This operation adds cells in one column to the current selection.

==== Select Cell ====

This operation adds one cell to the current selection.

=== Keyboard interactions ===

The keyboard interactions specified here are taking from observing the current keyboard interactions for tables in OpenOffice.org Writer. All keys not specified below will be used as normal text input and will be inserted at the position of the text cursor. If no cell has a focus, the first cell will become the focus.

==== Cursor keys ====
If a cell has the focus, the cursor keys are used to travel the text cursor in the containing text. If not text is contained or the start or end of the text is reached, the focus will be transferred to the corresponding adjacent cell, if available.

===== Cursor left =====
Travels the text cursor towards the beginning of the text in a cell, character by character. If no cell text is available or if the cursor is already at the beginning of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell left of the cell with the focus. If the cell with the current focus is the first visible cell in that row, the focus is transferred to the last visible cell in the previous row, if available.

===== Cursor right =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text in a cell, character by character. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the end of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell in the same row after the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor up =====
Travels the text cursor towards the begin of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the prior row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor down =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the next row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.
Cursor keys and modifier key STRG?
Only cursor left and cursor right are supported with this modifier. Behavior is the same, except text is traveled word by word instead of character by character.

===== Tab key =====
The focus is moved to the next visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells in that row, the first visible cell in the next row gets the focus, if available. If there is no selection and no focus, nothing happens.
If the tab key is used in the last visible cell of the last row, the operation “Insert Below” will be executed and the focus will be set to the first cell in the newly created row.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Tab key and modifier SHIFT? =====
The focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells prior to the cell with the focus in that row, the last visible cell in the previous row gets the focus, if available.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Pos1 key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the beginning of the text from the cell with the focus.
Pos1 key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the first cell.

===== End key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the end of the text from the cell with the focus.
End key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the last cell.

===== Backspace key =====
The character before the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters before the text cursor, the focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no previous visible cell in the same row, the last visible cell in the previous row will be used, if available. If the focus changes to another cell, the text cursor is placed at the end of the text in that cell.

===== Backspace key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== Delete key =====
The character at the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters at the text cursors, the focus is moved to the next visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no next visible cell in the same row, the first visible cell in the next row is used, if available.

===== Delete key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== A key and modifier STRG? =====
If the cell with the focus contains text, the whole text of that cell is selected. If it is already selected or if there is no cell containing the focus, all cells are selected. If the cell with the focus contains no text, all cells are selected.

===== Selection and the modifier key SHIFT? =====
All keys used for traveling can be combined with the modifier key SHIFT?. In that case an existing selection is expanded to the cell with the focus. If no selection is available a new selection is spawned from the cell with the initial focus. Traveling inside text spawns a text selection. As soon as cells are selected or a text selection is spawned across cell borders, only whole cells will be traveled and selected.

=== Mouse interactions ===
If selected, a table shape becomes a border and handles for translation and resizing.

==== Setting the focus ====
When the user clicks inside a cell, the focus and text cursor is placed inside that cell. If the click was made inside text in a cell, the text cursor is placed directly at this position. If the table shape does not yet have the focus, it will get the focus and text edit will become active.

==== Context Menu ====
Right click into the table will set focus to the cell under the mouse pointer and create a context menu. If the text engine can provide a context menu for the given text selection or for the text under the mouse position, this context menu will be used. If not, the table shape context menu is shown (see 1.11).

==== Resizing Row Height ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the row height is now possible. When the user press the left mouse button, horizontal changes of the mouse will result in resizing the row height. See 1.7.11 for constrains.

==== Resizing Column Width ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows and both the cell left and right to the mouse are not merged together, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the column width is possible. When the user press the left mouse button, vertical changes of the mouse will result in resizing the column width. See 1.7.12 for constrains.

==== Row selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the left side of a row, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the row is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the row right to the mouse are selected.

==== Column selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the top side of a column, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the column is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the column below the mouse are selected.

== Migration ==

=== Migrating old tables ===
Existing content where user draw their tables using shapes or the OpenOffice.org Calc application can not be converted to native tables. The user will have to re create the table and copy the textual contents to the new table via clipboard.
The same applies to tables imported from Microsoft Powerpoint in versions that did not support native tables as the resulting group shape does not contain any information to re create the original table.

=== Loading new tables in older versions of OpenOffice.org ===
Older versions of OpenOffice.org that do not contain the feature of native tables in impress will not be able to work with the new tables as described in this specification. Currently there are two options. Either the new table shapes show not up in older versions at all after loading a document. Or we store the new tables the same way as we store embedded OpenOffice.org Calc objects. In that case the tables are visible in older applications with the short come that they may render a little different and the content is still editable but not as user friendly as with the new tables.

=== Status Changes ===

08/20/2007
* Merge and Split operation took longer to implement then initially planned, shifting milestone M2 around two weeks
* Due to unplanned workload with OOo 2.3 show stopper issues shift M2 one week
* Since this now spans over my one week vacation in October, M4 is shifted one additional week

10/15/2007
* Back from vacation, had to do some support for the presenter screen feature
* Undo is more complicated than planed, have to adjust dates again
* Talked about cell styles with MMP, having cell styles and table styles is confusing for the user.
Therefore we will only have table styles. Design of the user interface for table styles is currently
unclear...

== Abstract ==
Currently OpenOffice.org Impress lacks the native support for tables. It is possible to create tables by embedding a OpenOffice.org Calc object or by 'drawing' a table by using multiple shapes. Both methods are neither user friendly nor accessible. The user expects a native support for tables like it is available in the OpenOffice.org Writer application for example. This specification defines a feature set that a common user expects from a native table implementation in OpenOffice.org Impress and also how it should be accessible on the user interface. It also takes into account the interoperability requirements with other similar products.
This specification only talks about tables in Impress. The same feature can and will be integrated in OpenOffice.org Draw. If there is a need for differences in the user interface for tables in Draw they will be documented either in a separate chapter in this specification or in another specification for tables in Draw.

== Detailed Specification ==

=== Table Contents ===
A table in impress is presented to the user as a shape. All patterns that apply to all generic shapes also apply to tables. A table shape is a rectangle area build of cells that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. All rows and columns are always completely visible inside the rectangle that defines the table. No scrolling is needed to see all tables if the table itself is completely visible. Resizing the table itself will also resize the containing cells so that all cells fit in the new rectangle. Adjacent cells can be merged so that the first merged cell occupies the area of all merged cells. All other merged cells will be invisible as long as they are part of a merge. A cell itself can contain text with multiple paragraphs.

=== Table Properties ===

==== Position & Size ====
As a shape, the table shape is placed on a slide and has a position and a size. Table shapes can not be rotated, so the position and size defines the rectangle area on the slide that is used to render all contained cells, excluding shadow and reflection. In contrast to using an embedded Calc object for tables, the position and size during editing a tables contents in Impress is always “what you see is what you get”.

==== Style ====
Each table shape will have a table style assigned that defines the formating properties for the cells if the properties are not hard set on the table or cell itself. Table styles are described in Change Me

==== Formating properties ====

Formating properties can be hard set on the table. They will override the formating properties from the table style and are used when the user creates new content like text or new cells. If the user sets new formating properties to a table, these properties will also be hard set to each cell in that table. The following properties are supported

* cell properties (TODO: com.sun.star.text.CellProperties or com.sun.star.table.CellProperties)
* character properties (com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesComplex )
* paragraph properties (com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesComplex )
* fill properties (com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties)

==== Layout properties ====
Layout properties are hard set on the table. They help define the overall layout of the table and how the table style is used on the containing cells.

==== Table Styles ====
This is the first section in the Table Design task pane
;String, '''bold'''
Table Styles

==== Table Style Options ====
This is the second section in the Table Design task pane
;String, '''bold'''
Table Style Options

==== Header Row ====
;String
Header row
If enabled, all cells of the first row are using the header row formating from the table style

==== Total Row ====
;String
Total row
If enabled, all cells in the last row are using the total row formating from the table style

==== Banded Rows ====
;String
Banded rows
If enabled, all cells from even rows are using the even horizontal banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== First Column ====
;String
First column
If enabled, all cells in the first column are using the first column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Last Column ====
;String
Last column
If enabled, all cells in the last column are using the last column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Columns ====
;String
Banded columns
If enabled, all cells from even columns are using the even vertical banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

=== Row Properties ===

==== Height ====
If a row has an assigned height, this is the absolute height of that row. If no height is assigned, a best fit algorithm is used to calculate the height depending on the maximum text height of all cells in that row, the height of all other rows and the overall table height. The sum of all column heights must not exceed the height of the table shape. If this is designated than the height of the table shape must also be changed to fit all rows.

=== Column Properties ===

==== Width ====

Each column has an assigned with. The sum of all column width must be exactly the width of the table shape.

=== Cell Properties ===

Each cell supports all formatting properties that are also available on the table itself. All properties set on the cell directly override the properties from the table style. Which of the formatting options from the tables style is used depends on the tables layout properties. The default formatting option is the uneven horizontal banding formation. Formatting properties set directly on the table do not override the formatting properties on cells, they are only used when creating new cells or adding text to cells without text.

==== Horizontal Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a horizontal range of merged cells, this property defines the number of horizontal cells that are merged.

==== Vertical Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a vertical range of merged cells, this property defines the number of vertical cells that are merged.

==== Merged ====
All cells that are part of a range of merged cells, excluding the first cell, have this property set.

=== Selection and Focus ===

* A selection consist of one or more selected cells.
* If a selection is available there will be no text cursor visible.
* If an operation creates the text cursor, all selected cells will be deselected.
* A cell has the focus if there is a text cursor inside that cell.
* If an operation needs a cell with a focus and no cell has the focus but there is an active selection, the first cell of that selection will become the focus.
* There can only be either a text selection or selected cells, not both. Creating a text selection deselects all cells. Selecting cells deselects all selected text.

=== Table Designs ===

Table designs can be changed from the Table Design pane on the task panel.
;String
Table Design

- DISCUSS: Should this open automatic if a table is selected?
* PRO: Feature is more visible to the user
* CON: Assigning an effect to a table is harder to do, since the Custom Animation pane must be re selected by hand each time a table is selected.

A Table Design is a set of predefined cell styles that are dynamically assigned to the cells of a table.
The styles available are

* header row
* total row
* first column
* last column
* vertical banding
* horizontal banding
* default

For each individual table it can be customized which of the first six
styles are used. If none of the first six styles is used or available,
the default style of the Table Design will be used.
The first style in the list that is available in the Table Design and
used by the table is assigned to a cell.
For example the top left cell will get the "header row" style if it is
available and the table is formated to use the header row. If not, it
gets the first column style, if that is available and the table is
formated to use the first column. If not, vertical banding is checked,
than horizontal banding and if nothing fits, the default is used.

The default style is also the parent style for all other styles of a
table design. This means that all settings from the default style
are also applied to the other styles, unless they are hard set in
the other styles.

A cell style for a Table Design can contain text formating, background
filling and cell border formating.

=== Operations on Tables ===

This section documents all the operations a user can apply to tables.

==== Insert ====

Tables can be inserted with the table slot from either the insert menu or the "Standard", "Insert" or "Table" tool bar.
When using the tool bar a drop down floating window opens where the user can select the initial number of columns
and rows.

[[image:Insert_Table_Preview.png|Inserting a table using the "Standard" tool bar and the mouse]]

==== Resizing ====
When resizing a table shape the following constrains must be met
* All cells must have at least a minimum with and height
* All cells must be big enough to format and display all its text contents without clipping or over painting their borders.
If the user try to resize a table to a size that can not fulfill the above constrains the application will automatically increase the table shape width and height until all constrains are fulfilled. The application will give priority to the width and will only change height if possible.

==== Text editing ====
If text is added to a cell that does not fit to the width of the cell, automatic line breaking is performed to format the text inside the cells width. If the formatted text still does not fit the cell then the height of the row for that cell is increased until the formatted text fits both the fixed with and the new cell height.
If text is removed from a cell and the size of the row is not fixed, the application automatically tries to reduce the height of the row until it has the minimum size to contain the contents of all cells in that row.
If as a result of text editing, the height of a row is changed, the height of the table shape is also changed so it exactly fits the new sizes.

==== Delete Columns ====
If cells are selected, all columns that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the column with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Delete Rows ====
If cells are selected, all rows that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the row with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Insert Above ====
A new row is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted before the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is inserted before the first row of the table.

==== Insert Below ====
A new row is inserted after the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted after the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is appended to the last row of the table.

==== Insert Left ====
A new column is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted before the column with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted before the first column of the table.

==== Insert Right ====
A new column is inserted left to the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted left to the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted at the left of the table.

==== Merge Cells ====
All selected cells are merged so that the first cell fills out the space of all other selected cells. All other selected cells become invisible. All text content of the selected cells is merged into the first cell. The first cell is the cell in the first selected row and the first selected column. Cells from different rows and columns can be merged, as long as the area defined by the rectangles of all cells contains no cells that will not be part of the merge. For example You can not merge Cell A1 with A3 as the merged rectangle would include A2. You can not merge A1 with A2 and B1 as the merged rectangle includes B2. You can not merge A1 with A2 if A2 is already merged with B2 as the merged rectangle would include B1.
If there is no valid selection of more than one cell, this operation is disabled.

==== Split Cells ====
If this operation is executed, the “Split Cells Dialog” pops up and asks the user how many new columns and rows he wants for all selected cells. If that dialog is not canceled then all selected cells are split so that they each contain the new number of rows and cells in the same area of the old selected cells. If no cell is selected than this operation is performed only on the cell with the focus. If no cell is selected and there is no cell with the focus then this operation is disabled.
If the newly created cells are smaller than the minimum defined cell width or height the table shape is automatically resized to fit the new cells with the minimum width or height.
Internally splitting a cell is done by adding new rows and or columns and merging adjacent cells.

==== Change Row Height ====
If the user changes the height of a row, this row becomes fixed size. It can't be made smaller than the minimum cell height. If the height of a row is increased, the height of the table shape is also increased to fit the new row height.

==== Change Column Width ====
If the user changes the width of a column, the width of the next column will be reduced so that the width of the table stays constant. The width of a column can not be smaller than the minimum cell width. If a columns width can only be increased as long as the next columns width is bigger than the minimum cell width. If the last column is resized, the width of the table is resized to fit the new column width.

==== Distribute Rows Equally ====
This operation makes all rows the same height. This is the height of the table shape divided by the number of rows.

==== Distribute Columns Evenly ====
This operation makes all columns the same width. This is the width of the table shape divided by the number of columns.

==== Select Row ====
This operation adds all cells in one row to the current selection.

==== Select Column ====
This operation adds cells in one column to the current selection.

==== Select Cell ====

This operation adds one cell to the current selection.

=== Keyboard interactions ===

The keyboard interactions specified here are taking from observing the current keyboard interactions for tables in OpenOffice.org Writer. All keys not specified below will be used as normal text input and will be inserted at the position of the text cursor. If no cell has a focus, the first cell will become the focus.

==== Cursor keys ====
If a cell has the focus, the cursor keys are used to travel the text cursor in the containing text. If not text is contained or the start or end of the text is reached, the focus will be transferred to the corresponding adjacent cell, if available.

===== Cursor left =====
Travels the text cursor towards the beginning of the text in a cell, character by character. If no cell text is available or if the cursor is already at the beginning of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell left of the cell with the focus. If the cell with the current focus is the first visible cell in that row, the focus is transferred to the last visible cell in the previous row, if available.

===== Cursor right =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text in a cell, character by character. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the end of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell in the same row after the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor up =====
Travels the text cursor towards the begin of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the prior row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor down =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the next row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.
Cursor keys and modifier key STRG?
Only cursor left and cursor right are supported with this modifier. Behavior is the same, except text is traveled word by word instead of character by character.

===== Tab key =====
The focus is moved to the next visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells in that row, the first visible cell in the next row gets the focus, if available. If there is no selection and no focus, nothing happens.
If the tab key is used in the last visible cell of the last row, the operation “Insert Below” will be executed and the focus will be set to the first cell in the newly created row.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Tab key and modifier SHIFT? =====
The focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells prior to the cell with the focus in that row, the last visible cell in the previous row gets the focus, if available.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Pos1 key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the beginning of the text from the cell with the focus.
Pos1 key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the first cell.

===== End key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the end of the text from the cell with the focus.
End key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the last cell.

===== Backspace key =====
The character before the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters before the text cursor, the focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no previous visible cell in the same row, the last visible cell in the previous row will be used, if available. If the focus changes to another cell, the text cursor is placed at the end of the text in that cell.

===== Backspace key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== Delete key =====
The character at the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters at the text cursors, the focus is moved to the next visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no next visible cell in the same row, the first visible cell in the next row is used, if available.

===== Delete key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== A key and modifier STRG? =====
If the cell with the focus contains text, the whole text of that cell is selected. If it is already selected or if there is no cell containing the focus, all cells are selected. If the cell with the focus contains no text, all cells are selected.

===== Selection and the modifier key SHIFT? =====
All keys used for traveling can be combined with the modifier key SHIFT?. In that case an existing selection is expanded to the cell with the focus. If no selection is available a new selection is spawned from the cell with the initial focus. Traveling inside text spawns a text selection. As soon as cells are selected or a text selection is spawned across cell borders, only whole cells will be traveled and selected.

=== Mouse interactions ===
If selected, a table shape becomes a border and handles for translation and resizing.

==== Setting the focus ====
When the user clicks inside a cell, the focus and text cursor is placed inside that cell. If the click was made inside text in a cell, the text cursor is placed directly at this position. If the table shape does not yet have the focus, it will get the focus and text edit will become active.

==== Context Menu ====
Right click into the table will set focus to the cell under the mouse pointer and create a context menu. If the text engine can provide a context menu for the given text selection or for the text under the mouse position, this context menu will be used. If not, the table shape context menu is shown (see 1.11).

==== Resizing Row Height ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the row height is now possible. When the user press the left mouse button, horizontal changes of the mouse will result in resizing the row height. See 1.7.11 for constrains.

==== Resizing Column Width ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows and both the cell left and right to the mouse are not merged together, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the column width is possible. When the user press the left mouse button, vertical changes of the mouse will result in resizing the column width. See 1.7.12 for constrains.

==== Row selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the left side of a row, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the row is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the row right to the mouse are selected.

==== Column selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the top side of a column, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the column is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the column below the mouse are selected.

== Migration ==

=== Migrating old tables ===
Existing content where user draw their tables using shapes or the OpenOffice.org Calc application can not be converted to native tables. The user will have to re create the table and copy the textual contents to the new table via clipboard.
The same applies to tables imported from Microsoft Powerpoint in versions that did not support native tables as the resulting group shape does not contain any information to re create the original table.

=== Loading new tables in older versions of OpenOffice.org ===
Older versions of OpenOffice.org that do not contain the feature of native tables in impress will not be able to work with the new tables as described in this specification. Currently there are two options. Either the new table shapes show not up in older versions at all after loading a document. Or we store the new tables the same way as we store embedded OpenOffice.org Calc objects. In that case the tables are visible in older applications with the short come that they may render a little different and the content is still editable but not as user friendly as with the new tables.

=== Status Changes ===

08/20/2007
* Merge and Split operation took longer to implement then initially planned, shifting milestone M2 around two weeks
* Due to unplanned workload with OOo 2.3 show stopper issues shift M2 one week
* Since this now spans over my one week vacation in October, M4 is shifted one additional week

10/15/2007
* Back from vacation, had to do some support for the presenter screen feature
* Undo is more complicated than planed, have to adjust dates again
* Talked about cell styles with MMP, having cell styles and table styles is confusing for the user.
Therefore we will only have table styles. Design of the user interface for table styles is currently
unclear...

== Abstract ==
Currently OpenOffice.org Impress lacks the native support for tables. It is possible to create tables by embedding a OpenOffice.org Calc object or by 'drawing' a table by using multiple shapes. Both methods are neither user friendly nor accessible. The user expects a native support for tables like it is available in the OpenOffice.org Writer application for example. This specification defines a feature set that a common user expects from a native table implementation in OpenOffice.org Impress and also how it should be accessible on the user interface. It also takes into account the interoperability requirements with other similar products.
This specification only talks about tables in Impress. The same feature can and will be integrated in OpenOffice.org Draw. If there is a need for differences in the user interface for tables in Draw they will be documented either in a separate chapter in this specification or in another specification for tables in Draw.

== Detailed Specification ==

=== Table Contents ===
A table in impress is presented to the user as a shape. All patterns that apply to all generic shapes also apply to tables. A table shape is a rectangle area build of cells that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. All rows and columns are always completely visible inside the rectangle that defines the table. No scrolling is needed to see all tables if the table itself is completely visible. Resizing the table itself will also resize the containing cells so that all cells fit in the new rectangle. Adjacent cells can be merged so that the first merged cell occupies the area of all merged cells. All other merged cells will be invisible as long as they are part of a merge. A cell itself can contain text with multiple paragraphs.

=== Table Properties ===

==== Position & Size ====
As a shape, the table shape is placed on a slide and has a position and a size. Table shapes can not be rotated, so the position and size defines the rectangle area on the slide that is used to render all contained cells, excluding shadow and reflection. In contrast to using an embedded Calc object for tables, the position and size during editing a tables contents in Impress is always “what you see is what you get”.

==== Style ====
Each table shape will have a table style assigned that defines the formating properties for the cells if the properties are not hard set on the table or cell itself. Table styles are described in Change Me

==== Formating properties ====

Formating properties can be hard set on the table. They will override the formating properties from the table style and are used when the user creates new content like text or new cells. If the user sets new formating properties to a table, these properties will also be hard set to each cell in that table. The following properties are supported

* cell properties (TODO: com.sun.star.text.CellProperties or com.sun.star.table.CellProperties)
* character properties (com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesComplex )
* paragraph properties (com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesComplex )
* fill properties (com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties)

==== Layout properties ====
Layout properties are hard set on the table. They help define the overall layout of the table and how the table style is used on the containing cells.

==== Table Style Options ====
;String, '''bold'''
Table Style Options

==== Header Row ====
;String
Header row
If enabled, all cells of the first row are using the header row formating from the table style

==== Total Row ====
;String
Total row
If enabled, all cells in the last row are using the total row formating from the table style

==== Banded Rows ====
;String
Banded rows
If enabled, all cells from even rows are using the even horizontal banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== First Column ====
;String
First column
If enabled, all cells in the first column are using the first column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Last Column ====
;String
Last column
If enabled, all cells in the last column are using the last column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Columns ====
;String
Banded columns
If enabled, all cells from even columns are using the even vertical banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

=== Row Properties ===

==== Height ====
If a row has an assigned height, this is the absolute height of that row. If no height is assigned, a best fit algorithm is used to calculate the height depending on the maximum text height of all cells in that row, the height of all other rows and the overall table height. The sum of all column heights must not exceed the height of the table shape. If this is designated than the height of the table shape must also be changed to fit all rows.

=== Column Properties ===

==== Width ====

Each column has an assigned with. The sum of all column width must be exactly the width of the table shape.

=== Cell Properties ===

Each cell supports all formatting properties that are also available on the table itself. All properties set on the cell directly override the properties from the table style. Which of the formatting options from the tables style is used depends on the tables layout properties. The default formatting option is the uneven horizontal banding formation. Formatting properties set directly on the table do not override the formatting properties on cells, they are only used when creating new cells or adding text to cells without text.

==== Horizontal Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a horizontal range of merged cells, this property defines the number of horizontal cells that are merged.

==== Vertical Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a vertical range of merged cells, this property defines the number of vertical cells that are merged.

==== Merged ====
All cells that are part of a range of merged cells, excluding the first cell, have this property set.

=== Selection and Focus ===

* A selection consist of one or more selected cells.
* If a selection is available there will be no text cursor visible.
* If an operation creates the text cursor, all selected cells will be deselected.
* A cell has the focus if there is a text cursor inside that cell.
* If an operation needs a cell with a focus and no cell has the focus but there is an active selection, the first cell of that selection will become the focus.
* There can only be either a text selection or selected cells, not both. Creating a text selection deselects all cells. Selecting cells deselects all selected text.

=== Table Designs ===

Table designs can be changed from the Table Design pane on the task panel.
;String
Table Design

- DISCUSS: Should this open automatic if a table is selected?
* PRO: Feature is more visible to the user
* CON: Assigning an effect to a table is harder to do, since the Custom Animation pane must be re selected by hand each time a table is selected.

A Table Design is a set of predefined cell styles that are dynamically assigned to the cells of a table.
The styles available are

* header row
* total row
* first column
* last column
* vertical banding
* horizontal banding
* default

For each individual table it can be customized which of the first six
styles are used. If none of the first six styles is used or available,
the default style of the Table Design will be used.
The first style in the list that is available in the Table Design and
used by the table is assigned to a cell.
For example the top left cell will get the "header row" style if it is
available and the table is formated to use the header row. If not, it
gets the first column style, if that is available and the table is
formated to use the first column. If not, vertical banding is checked,
than horizontal banding and if nothing fits, the default is used.

The default style is also the parent style for all other styles of a
table design. This means that all settings from the default style
are also applied to the other styles, unless they are hard set in
the other styles.

A cell style for a Table Design can contain text formating, background
filling and cell border formating.

=== Operations on Tables ===

This section documents all the operations a user can apply to tables.

==== Insert ====

Tables can be inserted with the table slot from either the insert menu or the "Standard", "Insert" or "Table" tool bar.
When using the tool bar a drop down floating window opens where the user can select the initial number of columns
and rows.

[[image:Insert_Table_Preview.png|Inserting a table using the "Standard" tool bar and the mouse]]

==== Resizing ====
When resizing a table shape the following constrains must be met
* All cells must have at least a minimum with and height
* All cells must be big enough to format and display all its text contents without clipping or over painting their borders.
If the user try to resize a table to a size that can not fulfill the above constrains the application will automatically increase the table shape width and height until all constrains are fulfilled. The application will give priority to the width and will only change height if possible.

==== Text editing ====
If text is added to a cell that does not fit to the width of the cell, automatic line breaking is performed to format the text inside the cells width. If the formatted text still does not fit the cell then the height of the row for that cell is increased until the formatted text fits both the fixed with and the new cell height.
If text is removed from a cell and the size of the row is not fixed, the application automatically tries to reduce the height of the row until it has the minimum size to contain the contents of all cells in that row.
If as a result of text editing, the height of a row is changed, the height of the table shape is also changed so it exactly fits the new sizes.

==== Delete Columns ====
If cells are selected, all columns that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the column with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Delete Rows ====
If cells are selected, all rows that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the row with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Insert Above ====
A new row is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted before the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is inserted before the first row of the table.

==== Insert Below ====
A new row is inserted after the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted after the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is appended to the last row of the table.

==== Insert Left ====
A new column is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted before the column with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted before the first column of the table.

==== Insert Right ====
A new column is inserted left to the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted left to the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted at the left of the table.

==== Merge Cells ====
All selected cells are merged so that the first cell fills out the space of all other selected cells. All other selected cells become invisible. All text content of the selected cells is merged into the first cell. The first cell is the cell in the first selected row and the first selected column. Cells from different rows and columns can be merged, as long as the area defined by the rectangles of all cells contains no cells that will not be part of the merge. For example You can not merge Cell A1 with A3 as the merged rectangle would include A2. You can not merge A1 with A2 and B1 as the merged rectangle includes B2. You can not merge A1 with A2 if A2 is already merged with B2 as the merged rectangle would include B1.
If there is no valid selection of more than one cell, this operation is disabled.

==== Split Cells ====
If this operation is executed, the “Split Cells Dialog” pops up and asks the user how many new columns and rows he wants for all selected cells. If that dialog is not canceled then all selected cells are split so that they each contain the new number of rows and cells in the same area of the old selected cells. If no cell is selected than this operation is performed only on the cell with the focus. If no cell is selected and there is no cell with the focus then this operation is disabled.
If the newly created cells are smaller than the minimum defined cell width or height the table shape is automatically resized to fit the new cells with the minimum width or height.
Internally splitting a cell is done by adding new rows and or columns and merging adjacent cells.

==== Change Row Height ====
If the user changes the height of a row, this row becomes fixed size. It can't be made smaller than the minimum cell height. If the height of a row is increased, the height of the table shape is also increased to fit the new row height.

==== Change Column Width ====
If the user changes the width of a column, the width of the next column will be reduced so that the width of the table stays constant. The width of a column can not be smaller than the minimum cell width. If a columns width can only be increased as long as the next columns width is bigger than the minimum cell width. If the last column is resized, the width of the table is resized to fit the new column width.

==== Distribute Rows Equally ====
This operation makes all rows the same height. This is the height of the table shape divided by the number of rows.

==== Distribute Columns Evenly ====
This operation makes all columns the same width. This is the width of the table shape divided by the number of columns.

==== Select Row ====
This operation adds all cells in one row to the current selection.

==== Select Column ====
This operation adds cells in one column to the current selection.

==== Select Cell ====

This operation adds one cell to the current selection.

=== Keyboard interactions ===

The keyboard interactions specified here are taking from observing the current keyboard interactions for tables in OpenOffice.org Writer. All keys not specified below will be used as normal text input and will be inserted at the position of the text cursor. If no cell has a focus, the first cell will become the focus.

==== Cursor keys ====
If a cell has the focus, the cursor keys are used to travel the text cursor in the containing text. If not text is contained or the start or end of the text is reached, the focus will be transferred to the corresponding adjacent cell, if available.

===== Cursor left =====
Travels the text cursor towards the beginning of the text in a cell, character by character. If no cell text is available or if the cursor is already at the beginning of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell left of the cell with the focus. If the cell with the current focus is the first visible cell in that row, the focus is transferred to the last visible cell in the previous row, if available.

===== Cursor right =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text in a cell, character by character. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the end of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell in the same row after the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor up =====
Travels the text cursor towards the begin of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the prior row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor down =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the next row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.
Cursor keys and modifier key STRG?
Only cursor left and cursor right are supported with this modifier. Behavior is the same, except text is traveled word by word instead of character by character.

===== Tab key =====
The focus is moved to the next visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells in that row, the first visible cell in the next row gets the focus, if available. If there is no selection and no focus, nothing happens.
If the tab key is used in the last visible cell of the last row, the operation “Insert Below” will be executed and the focus will be set to the first cell in the newly created row.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Tab key and modifier SHIFT? =====
The focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells prior to the cell with the focus in that row, the last visible cell in the previous row gets the focus, if available.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Pos1 key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the beginning of the text from the cell with the focus.
Pos1 key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the first cell.

===== End key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the end of the text from the cell with the focus.
End key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the last cell.

===== Backspace key =====
The character before the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters before the text cursor, the focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no previous visible cell in the same row, the last visible cell in the previous row will be used, if available. If the focus changes to another cell, the text cursor is placed at the end of the text in that cell.

===== Backspace key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== Delete key =====
The character at the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters at the text cursors, the focus is moved to the next visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no next visible cell in the same row, the first visible cell in the next row is used, if available.

===== Delete key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== A key and modifier STRG? =====
If the cell with the focus contains text, the whole text of that cell is selected. If it is already selected or if there is no cell containing the focus, all cells are selected. If the cell with the focus contains no text, all cells are selected.

===== Selection and the modifier key SHIFT? =====
All keys used for traveling can be combined with the modifier key SHIFT?. In that case an existing selection is expanded to the cell with the focus. If no selection is available a new selection is spawned from the cell with the initial focus. Traveling inside text spawns a text selection. As soon as cells are selected or a text selection is spawned across cell borders, only whole cells will be traveled and selected.

=== Mouse interactions ===
If selected, a table shape becomes a border and handles for translation and resizing.

==== Setting the focus ====
When the user clicks inside a cell, the focus and text cursor is placed inside that cell. If the click was made inside text in a cell, the text cursor is placed directly at this position. If the table shape does not yet have the focus, it will get the focus and text edit will become active.

==== Context Menu ====
Right click into the table will set focus to the cell under the mouse pointer and create a context menu. If the text engine can provide a context menu for the given text selection or for the text under the mouse position, this context menu will be used. If not, the table shape context menu is shown (see 1.11).

==== Resizing Row Height ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the row height is now possible. When the user press the left mouse button, horizontal changes of the mouse will result in resizing the row height. See 1.7.11 for constrains.

==== Resizing Column Width ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows and both the cell left and right to the mouse are not merged together, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the column width is possible. When the user press the left mouse button, vertical changes of the mouse will result in resizing the column width. See 1.7.12 for constrains.

==== Row selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the left side of a row, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the row is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the row right to the mouse are selected.

==== Column selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the top side of a column, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the column is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the column below the mouse are selected.

== Migration ==

=== Migrating old tables ===
Existing content where user draw their tables using shapes or the OpenOffice.org Calc application can not be converted to native tables. The user will have to re create the table and copy the textual contents to the new table via clipboard.
The same applies to tables imported from Microsoft Powerpoint in versions that did not support native tables as the resulting group shape does not contain any information to re create the original table.

=== Loading new tables in older versions of OpenOffice.org ===
Older versions of OpenOffice.org that do not contain the feature of native tables in impress will not be able to work with the new tables as described in this specification. Currently there are two options. Either the new table shapes show not up in older versions at all after loading a document. Or we store the new tables the same way as we store embedded OpenOffice.org Calc objects. In that case the tables are visible in older applications with the short come that they may render a little different and the content is still editable but not as user friendly as with the new tables.

=== Status Changes ===

08/20/2007
* Merge and Split operation took longer to implement then initially planned, shifting milestone M2 around two weeks
* Due to unplanned workload with OOo 2.3 show stopper issues shift M2 one week
* Since this now spans over my one week vacation in October, M4 is shifted one additional week

10/15/2007
* Back from vacation, had to do some support for the presenter screen feature
* Undo is more complicated than planed, have to adjust dates again
* Talked about cell styles with MMP, having cell styles and table styles is confusing for the user.
Therefore we will only have table styles. Design of the user interface for table styles is currently
unclear...

== Abstract ==
Currently OpenOffice.org Impress lacks the native support for tables. It is possible to create tables by embedding a OpenOffice.org Calc object or by 'drawing' a table by using multiple shapes. Both methods are neither user friendly nor accessible. The user expects a native support for tables like it is available in the OpenOffice.org Writer application for example. This specification defines a feature set that a common user expects from a native table implementation in OpenOffice.org Impress and also how it should be accessible on the user interface. It also takes into account the interoperability requirements with other similar products.
This specification only talks about tables in Impress. The same feature can and will be integrated in OpenOffice.org Draw. If there is a need for differences in the user interface for tables in Draw they will be documented either in a separate chapter in this specification or in another specification for tables in Draw.

== Detailed Specification ==

=== Table Contents ===
A table in impress is presented to the user as a shape. All patterns that apply to all generic shapes also apply to tables. A table shape is a rectangle area build of cells that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. All rows and columns are always completely visible inside the rectangle that defines the table. No scrolling is needed to see all tables if the table itself is completely visible. Resizing the table itself will also resize the containing cells so that all cells fit in the new rectangle. Adjacent cells can be merged so that the first merged cell occupies the area of all merged cells. All other merged cells will be invisible as long as they are part of a merge. A cell itself can contain text with multiple paragraphs.

=== Table Properties ===

==== Position & Size ====
As a shape, the table shape is placed on a slide and has a position and a size. Table shapes can not be rotated, so the position and size defines the rectangle area on the slide that is used to render all contained cells, excluding shadow and reflection. In contrast to using an embedded Calc object for tables, the position and size during editing a tables contents in Impress is always “what you see is what you get”.

==== Style ====
Each table shape will have a table style assigned that defines the formating properties for the cells if the properties are not hard set on the table or cell itself. Table styles are described in Change Me

==== Formating properties ====

Formating properties can be hard set on the table. They will override the formating properties from the table style and are used when the user creates new content like text or new cells. If the user sets new formating properties to a table, these properties will also be hard set to each cell in that table. The following properties are supported

* cell properties (TODO: com.sun.star.text.CellProperties or com.sun.star.table.CellProperties)
* character properties (com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesComplex )
* paragraph properties (com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesComplex )
* fill properties (com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties)

==== Layout properties ====
Layout properties are hard set on the table. They help define the overall layout of the table and how the table style is used on the containing cells.

==== Header Row ====
;String
Header row
If enabled, all cells of the first row are using the header row formating from the table style

==== Total Row ====
If enabled, all cells in the last row are using the total row formating from the table style

==== First Column ====
If enabled, all cells in the first column are using the first column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Last Column ====
If enabled, all cells in the last column are using the last column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Rows ====
If enabled, all cells from even rows are using the even horizontal banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Columns ====
If enabled, all cells from even columns are using the even vertical banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

=== Row Properties ===

==== Height ====
If a row has an assigned height, this is the absolute height of that row. If no height is assigned, a best fit algorithm is used to calculate the height depending on the maximum text height of all cells in that row, the height of all other rows and the overall table height. The sum of all column heights must not exceed the height of the table shape. If this is designated than the height of the table shape must also be changed to fit all rows.

=== Column Properties ===

==== Width ====

Each column has an assigned with. The sum of all column width must be exactly the width of the table shape.

=== Cell Properties ===

Each cell supports all formatting properties that are also available on the table itself. All properties set on the cell directly override the properties from the table style. Which of the formatting options from the tables style is used depends on the tables layout properties. The default formatting option is the uneven horizontal banding formation. Formatting properties set directly on the table do not override the formatting properties on cells, they are only used when creating new cells or adding text to cells without text.

==== Horizontal Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a horizontal range of merged cells, this property defines the number of horizontal cells that are merged.

==== Vertical Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a vertical range of merged cells, this property defines the number of vertical cells that are merged.

==== Merged ====
All cells that are part of a range of merged cells, excluding the first cell, have this property set.

=== Selection and Focus ===

* A selection consist of one or more selected cells.
* If a selection is available there will be no text cursor visible.
* If an operation creates the text cursor, all selected cells will be deselected.
* A cell has the focus if there is a text cursor inside that cell.
* If an operation needs a cell with a focus and no cell has the focus but there is an active selection, the first cell of that selection will become the focus.
* There can only be either a text selection or selected cells, not both. Creating a text selection deselects all cells. Selecting cells deselects all selected text.

=== Table Designs ===

Table designs can be changed from the Table Design pane on the task panel.
;String
Table Design

- DISCUSS: Should this open automatic if a table is selected?
* PRO: Feature is more visible to the user
* CON: Assigning an effect to a table is harder to do, since the Custom Animation pane must be re selected by hand each time a table is selected.

A Table Design is a set of predefined cell styles that are dynamically assigned to the cells of a table.
The styles available are

* header row
* total row
* first column
* last column
* vertical banding
* horizontal banding
* default

For each individual table it can be customized which of the first six
styles are used. If none of the first six styles is used or available,
the default style of the Table Design will be used.
The first style in the list that is available in the Table Design and
used by the table is assigned to a cell.
For example the top left cell will get the "header row" style if it is
available and the table is formated to use the header row. If not, it
gets the first column style, if that is available and the table is
formated to use the first column. If not, vertical banding is checked,
than horizontal banding and if nothing fits, the default is used.

The default style is also the parent style for all other styles of a
table design. This means that all settings from the default style
are also applied to the other styles, unless they are hard set in
the other styles.

A cell style for a Table Design can contain text formating, background
filling and cell border formating.

=== Operations on Tables ===

This section documents all the operations a user can apply to tables.

==== Insert ====

Tables can be inserted with the table slot from either the insert menu or the "Standard", "Insert" or "Table" tool bar.
When using the tool bar a drop down floating window opens where the user can select the initial number of columns
and rows.

[[image:Insert_Table_Preview.png|Inserting a table using the "Standard" tool bar and the mouse]]

==== Resizing ====
When resizing a table shape the following constrains must be met
* All cells must have at least a minimum with and height
* All cells must be big enough to format and display all its text contents without clipping or over painting their borders.
If the user try to resize a table to a size that can not fulfill the above constrains the application will automatically increase the table shape width and height until all constrains are fulfilled. The application will give priority to the width and will only change height if possible.

==== Text editing ====
If text is added to a cell that does not fit to the width of the cell, automatic line breaking is performed to format the text inside the cells width. If the formatted text still does not fit the cell then the height of the row for that cell is increased until the formatted text fits both the fixed with and the new cell height.
If text is removed from a cell and the size of the row is not fixed, the application automatically tries to reduce the height of the row until it has the minimum size to contain the contents of all cells in that row.
If as a result of text editing, the height of a row is changed, the height of the table shape is also changed so it exactly fits the new sizes.

==== Delete Columns ====
If cells are selected, all columns that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the column with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Delete Rows ====
If cells are selected, all rows that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the row with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Insert Above ====
A new row is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted before the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is inserted before the first row of the table.

==== Insert Below ====
A new row is inserted after the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted after the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is appended to the last row of the table.

==== Insert Left ====
A new column is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted before the column with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted before the first column of the table.

==== Insert Right ====
A new column is inserted left to the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted left to the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted at the left of the table.

==== Merge Cells ====
All selected cells are merged so that the first cell fills out the space of all other selected cells. All other selected cells become invisible. All text content of the selected cells is merged into the first cell. The first cell is the cell in the first selected row and the first selected column. Cells from different rows and columns can be merged, as long as the area defined by the rectangles of all cells contains no cells that will not be part of the merge. For example You can not merge Cell A1 with A3 as the merged rectangle would include A2. You can not merge A1 with A2 and B1 as the merged rectangle includes B2. You can not merge A1 with A2 if A2 is already merged with B2 as the merged rectangle would include B1.
If there is no valid selection of more than one cell, this operation is disabled.

==== Split Cells ====
If this operation is executed, the “Split Cells Dialog” pops up and asks the user how many new columns and rows he wants for all selected cells. If that dialog is not canceled then all selected cells are split so that they each contain the new number of rows and cells in the same area of the old selected cells. If no cell is selected than this operation is performed only on the cell with the focus. If no cell is selected and there is no cell with the focus then this operation is disabled.
If the newly created cells are smaller than the minimum defined cell width or height the table shape is automatically resized to fit the new cells with the minimum width or height.
Internally splitting a cell is done by adding new rows and or columns and merging adjacent cells.

==== Change Row Height ====
If the user changes the height of a row, this row becomes fixed size. It can't be made smaller than the minimum cell height. If the height of a row is increased, the height of the table shape is also increased to fit the new row height.

==== Change Column Width ====
If the user changes the width of a column, the width of the next column will be reduced so that the width of the table stays constant. The width of a column can not be smaller than the minimum cell width. If a columns width can only be increased as long as the next columns width is bigger than the minimum cell width. If the last column is resized, the width of the table is resized to fit the new column width.

==== Distribute Rows Equally ====
This operation makes all rows the same height. This is the height of the table shape divided by the number of rows.

==== Distribute Columns Evenly ====
This operation makes all columns the same width. This is the width of the table shape divided by the number of columns.

==== Select Row ====
This operation adds all cells in one row to the current selection.

==== Select Column ====
This operation adds cells in one column to the current selection.

==== Select Cell ====

This operation adds one cell to the current selection.

=== Keyboard interactions ===

The keyboard interactions specified here are taking from observing the current keyboard interactions for tables in OpenOffice.org Writer. All keys not specified below will be used as normal text input and will be inserted at the position of the text cursor. If no cell has a focus, the first cell will become the focus.

==== Cursor keys ====
If a cell has the focus, the cursor keys are used to travel the text cursor in the containing text. If not text is contained or the start or end of the text is reached, the focus will be transferred to the corresponding adjacent cell, if available.

===== Cursor left =====
Travels the text cursor towards the beginning of the text in a cell, character by character. If no cell text is available or if the cursor is already at the beginning of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell left of the cell with the focus. If the cell with the current focus is the first visible cell in that row, the focus is transferred to the last visible cell in the previous row, if available.

===== Cursor right =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text in a cell, character by character. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the end of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell in the same row after the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor up =====
Travels the text cursor towards the begin of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the prior row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor down =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the next row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.
Cursor keys and modifier key STRG?
Only cursor left and cursor right are supported with this modifier. Behavior is the same, except text is traveled word by word instead of character by character.

===== Tab key =====
The focus is moved to the next visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells in that row, the first visible cell in the next row gets the focus, if available. If there is no selection and no focus, nothing happens.
If the tab key is used in the last visible cell of the last row, the operation “Insert Below” will be executed and the focus will be set to the first cell in the newly created row.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Tab key and modifier SHIFT? =====
The focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells prior to the cell with the focus in that row, the last visible cell in the previous row gets the focus, if available.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Pos1 key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the beginning of the text from the cell with the focus.
Pos1 key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the first cell.

===== End key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the end of the text from the cell with the focus.
End key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the last cell.

===== Backspace key =====
The character before the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters before the text cursor, the focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no previous visible cell in the same row, the last visible cell in the previous row will be used, if available. If the focus changes to another cell, the text cursor is placed at the end of the text in that cell.

===== Backspace key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== Delete key =====
The character at the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters at the text cursors, the focus is moved to the next visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no next visible cell in the same row, the first visible cell in the next row is used, if available.

===== Delete key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== A key and modifier STRG? =====
If the cell with the focus contains text, the whole text of that cell is selected. If it is already selected or if there is no cell containing the focus, all cells are selected. If the cell with the focus contains no text, all cells are selected.

===== Selection and the modifier key SHIFT? =====
All keys used for traveling can be combined with the modifier key SHIFT?. In that case an existing selection is expanded to the cell with the focus. If no selection is available a new selection is spawned from the cell with the initial focus. Traveling inside text spawns a text selection. As soon as cells are selected or a text selection is spawned across cell borders, only whole cells will be traveled and selected.

=== Mouse interactions ===
If selected, a table shape becomes a border and handles for translation and resizing.

==== Setting the focus ====
When the user clicks inside a cell, the focus and text cursor is placed inside that cell. If the click was made inside text in a cell, the text cursor is placed directly at this position. If the table shape does not yet have the focus, it will get the focus and text edit will become active.

==== Context Menu ====
Right click into the table will set focus to the cell under the mouse pointer and create a context menu. If the text engine can provide a context menu for the given text selection or for the text under the mouse position, this context menu will be used. If not, the table shape context menu is shown (see 1.11).

==== Resizing Row Height ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the row height is now possible. When the user press the left mouse button, horizontal changes of the mouse will result in resizing the row height. See 1.7.11 for constrains.

==== Resizing Column Width ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows and both the cell left and right to the mouse are not merged together, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the column width is possible. When the user press the left mouse button, vertical changes of the mouse will result in resizing the column width. See 1.7.12 for constrains.

==== Row selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the left side of a row, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the row is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the row right to the mouse are selected.

==== Column selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the top side of a column, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the column is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the column below the mouse are selected.

== Migration ==

=== Migrating old tables ===
Existing content where user draw their tables using shapes or the OpenOffice.org Calc application can not be converted to native tables. The user will have to re create the table and copy the textual contents to the new table via clipboard.
The same applies to tables imported from Microsoft Powerpoint in versions that did not support native tables as the resulting group shape does not contain any information to re create the original table.

=== Loading new tables in older versions of OpenOffice.org ===
Older versions of OpenOffice.org that do not contain the feature of native tables in impress will not be able to work with the new tables as described in this specification. Currently there are two options. Either the new table shapes show not up in older versions at all after loading a document. Or we store the new tables the same way as we store embedded OpenOffice.org Calc objects. In that case the tables are visible in older applications with the short come that they may render a little different and the content is still editable but not as user friendly as with the new tables.

=== Status Changes ===

08/20/2007
* Merge and Split operation took longer to implement then initially planned, shifting milestone M2 around two weeks
* Due to unplanned workload with OOo 2.3 show stopper issues shift M2 one week
* Since this now spans over my one week vacation in October, M4 is shifted one additional week

10/15/2007
* Back from vacation, had to do some support for the presenter screen feature
* Undo is more complicated than planed, have to adjust dates again
* Talked about cell styles with MMP, having cell styles and table styles is confusing for the user.
Therefore we will only have table styles. Design of the user interface for table styles is currently
unclear...

== Abstract ==
Currently OpenOffice.org Impress lacks the native support for tables. It is possible to create tables by embedding a OpenOffice.org Calc object or by 'drawing' a table by using multiple shapes. Both methods are neither user friendly nor accessible. The user expects a native support for tables like it is available in the OpenOffice.org Writer application for example. This specification defines a feature set that a common user expects from a native table implementation in OpenOffice.org Impress and also how it should be accessible on the user interface. It also takes into account the interoperability requirements with other similar products.
This specification only talks about tables in Impress. The same feature can and will be integrated in OpenOffice.org Draw. If there is a need for differences in the user interface for tables in Draw they will be documented either in a separate chapter in this specification or in another specification for tables in Draw.

== Detailed Specification ==

=== Table Contents ===
A table in impress is presented to the user as a shape. All patterns that apply to all generic shapes also apply to tables. A table shape is a rectangle area build of cells that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. All rows and columns are always completely visible inside the rectangle that defines the table. No scrolling is needed to see all tables if the table itself is completely visible. Resizing the table itself will also resize the containing cells so that all cells fit in the new rectangle. Adjacent cells can be merged so that the first merged cell occupies the area of all merged cells. All other merged cells will be invisible as long as they are part of a merge. A cell itself can contain text with multiple paragraphs.

=== Table Properties ===

==== Position & Size ====
As a shape, the table shape is placed on a slide and has a position and a size. Table shapes can not be rotated, so the position and size defines the rectangle area on the slide that is used to render all contained cells, excluding shadow and reflection. In contrast to using an embedded Calc object for tables, the position and size during editing a tables contents in Impress is always “what you see is what you get”.

==== Style ====
Each table shape will have a table style assigned that defines the formating properties for the cells if the properties are not hard set on the table or cell itself. Table styles are described in Change Me

==== Formating properties ====

Formating properties can be hard set on the table. They will override the formating properties from the table style and are used when the user creates new content like text or new cells. If the user sets new formating properties to a table, these properties will also be hard set to each cell in that table. The following properties are supported

* cell properties (TODO: com.sun.star.text.CellProperties or com.sun.star.table.CellProperties)
* character properties (com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.CharacterPropertiesComplex )
* paragraph properties (com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesAsien, com.sun.star.style.ParagraphPropertiesComplex )
* fill properties (com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties)

==== Layout properties ====
Layout properties are hard set on the table. They help define the overall layout of the table and how the table style is used on the containing cells.

==== Header Row ====
If enabled, all cells of the first row are using the header row formating from the table style

==== Total Row ====
If enabled, all cells in the last row are using the total row formating from the table style

==== First Column ====
If enabled, all cells in the first column are using the first column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Last Column ====
If enabled, all cells in the last column are using the last column formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Rows ====
If enabled, all cells from even rows are using the even horizontal banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

==== Banded Columns ====
If enabled, all cells from even columns are using the even vertical banding formating from the table style. This excludes all cells that are affected from one of the layout properties defined above.

=== Row Properties ===

==== Height ====
If a row has an assigned height, this is the absolute height of that row. If no height is assigned, a best fit algorithm is used to calculate the height depending on the maximum text height of all cells in that row, the height of all other rows and the overall table height. The sum of all column heights must not exceed the height of the table shape. If this is designated than the height of the table shape must also be changed to fit all rows.

=== Column Properties ===

==== Width ====

Each column has an assigned with. The sum of all column width must be exactly the width of the table shape.

=== Cell Properties ===

Each cell supports all formatting properties that are also available on the table itself. All properties set on the cell directly override the properties from the table style. Which of the formatting options from the tables style is used depends on the tables layout properties. The default formatting option is the uneven horizontal banding formation. Formatting properties set directly on the table do not override the formatting properties on cells, they are only used when creating new cells or adding text to cells without text.

==== Horizontal Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a horizontal range of merged cells, this property defines the number of horizontal cells that are merged.

==== Vertical Span ====
If a cell is the first cell in a vertical range of merged cells, this property defines the number of vertical cells that are merged.

==== Merged ====
All cells that are part of a range of merged cells, excluding the first cell, have this property set.

=== Selection and Focus ===

* A selection consist of one or more selected cells.
* If a selection is available there will be no text cursor visible.
* If an operation creates the text cursor, all selected cells will be deselected.
* A cell has the focus if there is a text cursor inside that cell.
* If an operation needs a cell with a focus and no cell has the focus but there is an active selection, the first cell of that selection will become the focus.
* There can only be either a text selection or selected cells, not both. Creating a text selection deselects all cells. Selecting cells deselects all selected text.

=== Table Designs ===

Table designs can be changed from the Table Design pane on the task panel.
;String
Table Design

- DISCUSS: Should this open automatic if a table is selected?
* PRO: Feature is more visible to the user
* CON: Assigning an effect to a table is harder to do, since the Custom Animation pane must be re selected by hand each time a table is selected.

A Table Design is a set of predefined cell styles that are dynamically assigned to the cells of a table.
The styles available are

* header row
* total row
* first column
* last column
* vertical banding
* horizontal banding
* default

For each individual table it can be customized which of the first six
styles are used. If none of the first six styles is used or available,
the default style of the Table Design will be used.
The first style in the list that is available in the Table Design and
used by the table is assigned to a cell.
For example the top left cell will get the "header row" style if it is
available and the table is formated to use the header row. If not, it
gets the first column style, if that is available and the table is
formated to use the first column. If not, vertical banding is checked,
than horizontal banding and if nothing fits, the default is used.

The default style is also the parent style for all other styles of a
table design. This means that all settings from the default style
are also applied to the other styles, unless they are hard set in
the other styles.

A cell style for a Table Design can contain text formating, background
filling and cell border formating.

=== Operations on Tables ===

This section documents all the operations a user can apply to tables.

==== Insert ====

Tables can be inserted with the table slot from either the insert menu or the "Standard", "Insert" or "Table" tool bar.
When using the tool bar a drop down floating window opens where the user can select the initial number of columns
and rows.

[[image:Insert_Table_Preview.png|Inserting a table using the "Standard" tool bar and the mouse]]

==== Resizing ====
When resizing a table shape the following constrains must be met
* All cells must have at least a minimum with and height
* All cells must be big enough to format and display all its text contents without clipping or over painting their borders.
If the user try to resize a table to a size that can not fulfill the above constrains the application will automatically increase the table shape width and height until all constrains are fulfilled. The application will give priority to the width and will only change height if possible.

==== Text editing ====
If text is added to a cell that does not fit to the width of the cell, automatic line breaking is performed to format the text inside the cells width. If the formatted text still does not fit the cell then the height of the row for that cell is increased until the formatted text fits both the fixed with and the new cell height.
If text is removed from a cell and the size of the row is not fixed, the application automatically tries to reduce the height of the row until it has the minimum size to contain the contents of all cells in that row.
If as a result of text editing, the height of a row is changed, the height of the table shape is also changed so it exactly fits the new sizes.

==== Delete Columns ====
If cells are selected, all columns that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the column with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Delete Rows ====
If cells are selected, all rows that contain selected cells are deleted. If no cell is selected, the row with the cell that has the focus is deleted. If there is no selection and no cell has the focus, this operation is disabled.

==== Insert Above ====
A new row is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted before the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is inserted before the first row of the table.

==== Insert Below ====
A new row is inserted after the current selection. If there is no selection a new row is inserted after the row with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new row is appended to the last row of the table.

==== Insert Left ====
A new column is inserted before the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted before the column with the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted before the first column of the table.

==== Insert Right ====
A new column is inserted left to the current selection. If there is no selection a new column is inserted left to the cell that has the focus. If no selection is available and no cell has the focus, a new column is inserted at the left of the table.

==== Merge Cells ====
All selected cells are merged so that the first cell fills out the space of all other selected cells. All other selected cells become invisible. All text content of the selected cells is merged into the first cell. The first cell is the cell in the first selected row and the first selected column. Cells from different rows and columns can be merged, as long as the area defined by the rectangles of all cells contains no cells that will not be part of the merge. For example You can not merge Cell A1 with A3 as the merged rectangle would include A2. You can not merge A1 with A2 and B1 as the merged rectangle includes B2. You can not merge A1 with A2 if A2 is already merged with B2 as the merged rectangle would include B1.
If there is no valid selection of more than one cell, this operation is disabled.

==== Split Cells ====
If this operation is executed, the “Split Cells Dialog” pops up and asks the user how many new columns and rows he wants for all selected cells. If that dialog is not canceled then all selected cells are split so that they each contain the new number of rows and cells in the same area of the old selected cells. If no cell is selected than this operation is performed only on the cell with the focus. If no cell is selected and there is no cell with the focus then this operation is disabled.
If the newly created cells are smaller than the minimum defined cell width or height the table shape is automatically resized to fit the new cells with the minimum width or height.
Internally splitting a cell is done by adding new rows and or columns and merging adjacent cells.

==== Change Row Height ====
If the user changes the height of a row, this row becomes fixed size. It can't be made smaller than the minimum cell height. If the height of a row is increased, the height of the table shape is also increased to fit the new row height.

==== Change Column Width ====
If the user changes the width of a column, the width of the next column will be reduced so that the width of the table stays constant. The width of a column can not be smaller than the minimum cell width. If a columns width can only be increased as long as the next columns width is bigger than the minimum cell width. If the last column is resized, the width of the table is resized to fit the new column width.

==== Distribute Rows Equally ====
This operation makes all rows the same height. This is the height of the table shape divided by the number of rows.

==== Distribute Columns Evenly ====
This operation makes all columns the same width. This is the width of the table shape divided by the number of columns.

==== Select Row ====
This operation adds all cells in one row to the current selection.

==== Select Column ====
This operation adds cells in one column to the current selection.

==== Select Cell ====

This operation adds one cell to the current selection.

=== Keyboard interactions ===

The keyboard interactions specified here are taking from observing the current keyboard interactions for tables in OpenOffice.org Writer. All keys not specified below will be used as normal text input and will be inserted at the position of the text cursor. If no cell has a focus, the first cell will become the focus.

==== Cursor keys ====
If a cell has the focus, the cursor keys are used to travel the text cursor in the containing text. If not text is contained or the start or end of the text is reached, the focus will be transferred to the corresponding adjacent cell, if available.

===== Cursor left =====
Travels the text cursor towards the beginning of the text in a cell, character by character. If no cell text is available or if the cursor is already at the beginning of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell left of the cell with the focus. If the cell with the current focus is the first visible cell in that row, the focus is transferred to the last visible cell in the previous row, if available.

===== Cursor right =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text in a cell, character by character. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the end of the text, the focus is moved to the first visible cell in the same row after the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor up =====
Travels the text cursor towards the begin of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the prior row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.

===== Cursor down =====
Travels the text cursor towards the end of the text, line by line. If no text is available or if the text cursor is already at the begin of the text, the focus is moved to the cell in the next row that is adjacent to the cell with the focus, if available.
Cursor keys and modifier key STRG?
Only cursor left and cursor right are supported with this modifier. Behavior is the same, except text is traveled word by word instead of character by character.

===== Tab key =====
The focus is moved to the next visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells in that row, the first visible cell in the next row gets the focus, if available. If there is no selection and no focus, nothing happens.
If the tab key is used in the last visible cell of the last row, the operation “Insert Below” will be executed and the focus will be set to the first cell in the newly created row.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Tab key and modifier SHIFT? =====
The focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the the row with the cell that contains the focus. If there are no more visible cells prior to the cell with the focus in that row, the last visible cell in the previous row gets the focus, if available.
If there is an active selection, the selection is changed that the focused cell now is a border of the selection rectangle.

===== Pos1 key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the beginning of the text from the cell with the focus.
Pos1 key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the first cell.

===== End key =====
If there is a text cursor, it is placed at the end of the text from the cell with the focus.
End key and modifier STRG?
The focus is set to the last cell.

===== Backspace key =====
The character before the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters before the text cursor, the focus is moved to the previous visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no previous visible cell in the same row, the last visible cell in the previous row will be used, if available. If the focus changes to another cell, the text cursor is placed at the end of the text in that cell.

===== Backspace key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== Delete key =====
The character at the text cursor is deleted. If there are no characters at the text cursors, the focus is moved to the next visible cell in the same row as the cell with the focus. If there is no next visible cell in the same row, the first visible cell in the next row is used, if available.

===== Delete key and modifier STRG? =====
Same Behavior as without modifier, expect that whole words are deleted instead of single characters.

===== A key and modifier STRG? =====
If the cell with the focus contains text, the whole text of that cell is selected. If it is already selected or if there is no cell containing the focus, all cells are selected. If the cell with the focus contains no text, all cells are selected.

===== Selection and the modifier key SHIFT? =====
All keys used for traveling can be combined with the modifier key SHIFT?. In that case an existing selection is expanded to the cell with the focus. If no selection is available a new selection is spawned from the cell with the initial focus. Traveling inside text spawns a text selection. As soon as cells are selected or a text selection is spawned across cell borders, only whole cells will be traveled and selected.

=== Mouse interactions ===
If selected, a table shape becomes a border and handles for translation and resizing.

==== Setting the focus ====
When the user clicks inside a cell, the focus and text cursor is placed inside that cell. If the click was made inside text in a cell, the text cursor is placed directly at this position. If the table shape does not yet have the focus, it will get the focus and text edit will become active.

==== Context Menu ====
Right click into the table will set focus to the cell under the mouse pointer and create a context menu. If the text engine can provide a context menu for the given text selection or for the text under the mouse position, this context menu will be used. If not, the table shape context menu is shown (see 1.11).

==== Resizing Row Height ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the row height is now possible. When the user press the left mouse button, horizontal changes of the mouse will result in resizing the row height. See 1.7.11 for constrains.

==== Resizing Column Width ====
If the mouse is near the border between two rows and both the cell left and right to the mouse are not merged together, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that resizing the column width is possible. When the user press the left mouse button, vertical changes of the mouse will result in resizing the column width. See 1.7.12 for constrains.

==== Row selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the left side of a row, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the row is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the row right to the mouse are selected.

==== Column selection ====
If the table shape has the focus and the mouse is near to the top side of a column, the mouse pointer will change to reflect that selecting the column is possible. If the left mouse is clicked, the old selection is removed and all cells in the column below the mouse are selected.

==== Mouse selection ====

== Migration ==

=== Migrating old tables ===
Existing content where user draw their tables using shapes or the OpenOffice.org Calc application can not be converted to native tables. The user will have to re create the table and copy the textual contents to the new table via clipboard.
The same applies to tables imported from Microsoft Powerpoint in versions that did not support native tables as the resulting group shape does not contain any information to re create the original table.

=== Loading new tables in older versions of OpenOffice.org ===
Older versions of OpenOffice.org that do not contain the feature of native tables in impress will not be able to work with the new tables as described in this specification. Currently there are two options. Either the new table shapes show not up in older versions at all after loading a document. Or we store the new tables the same way as we store embedded OpenOffice.org Calc objects. In that case the tables are visible in older applications with the short come that they may render a little different and the content is still editable but not as user friendly as with the new tables.

=== Status Changes ===

08/20/2007
* Merge and Split operation took longer to implement then initially planned, shifting milestone M2 around two weeks
* Due to unplanned workload with OOo 2.3 show stopper issues shift M2 one week
* Since this now spans over my one week vacation in October, M4 is shifted one additional week

10/15/2007
* Back from vacation, had to do some support for the presenter screen feature
* Undo is more complicated than planed, have to adjust dates again
* Talked about cell styles with MMP, having cell styles and table styles is confusing for the user.
Therefore we will only have table styles. Design of the user interface for table styles is currently
unclear...

CVS

Mmp: add basic questions and links

This page describes some difficulties with the modified CVS version, which is used for OpenOffice.org

== FAQ ==

=== How do I setup a CVS client? ===
http://specs.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectSource

=== How do I setup a tunnel? ===
http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide

=== Why do I need a tunnel? ===
A tunnel is used to commit files to the CVS system. Otherwise you have just read acccess.

=== I can't checkout with a certain tag ===

OpenOffice.org CVS is loosing from time to time it's CVSROOT/valtags file so one needs to recreate this tags, this can be done by creating just another dummy branch:

cvs -d:pserver:mh@my-tunnel:/cvs co test
cd test/playground
cvs tag -b cws_src680_asyncdialogs2 Makefile

[[http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23306 IssueZilla 23306]]

=== how to track the patch code of a issue which has been fixed and integrated ? ===
(e.g) The issue 69010, belongs to the CWS impress110, has been integrated into m192.

there are two possibilties to track this:

1. Use EIS (eis.services.openoffice.org). Login into EIS, search for the impress110 cws and look there for the modules and files section. There you find the registered task and the files affected by this task. Following the link of the revision shows you the diff.
2. use bonsai (go-ooo.org/bonsai) to track all the changes of the cws (e.g. http://bonsai.go-oo.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=cws_src680_impress110&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=all&mindate=&maxdate=&cvsroot=%2Fhome%2Fooweb%2Fcvsup)
using the first alternative work fine once a cws has been integrated, the second alternative works fine before integration of the cws.

=== PDF Import Options Dialog ===
Whenever a PDF is selected in the Open dialog and the PDF is not a Hyprid PDF then the user has to choose in which application (Writer, Impress, Draw) the PDF shall be imported. This is done by a subsequent dialog that shows up after the Open dialog has been dismissed.

;Dialog Title
:PDF Import Options

; Controls
: "Import PDF as" is a combo control to choose between "Text Document", "Presentation" and "Drawing".
: A static text field that explains the pros&cons of the currently selected option. It changes according to the current selection of the combo control:
* Text Document - "Choose 'Text Document' to edit major parts of the text. The document might look different because of reformatting."
* Presentation - "Choose 'Presentation' to edit the slides of a presentation in PDF format."
* Drawing - "Choose 'Drawing' to edit minor details of the PDF document. This option is best to preserve the document's layout."
