Table OUTSIDE spacing ("paragraph") as template?
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2014 3:59 pm
Hi folks!
I often have to add small tables to my Writer documents.
Due to my standard paragraph formatting (which does NOT add any space above and below the paragraph), letters like "g,y,q" right above the table do "touch" the upper, visible border of it - which is ugly, of course.
The same way, text right below the table that includes "high" characters do touch the lower border.
To prevent that, I always right-click the table I just added, select "Table" from the popup-menu and add a small spacing like 0.1 cm to it (above and below), which makes look the things way smoother.
Well, I have to do that EACH TIME I add a new table, which is annoying.
Unfortunately, there seems no way to create a "paragraph template" for it that I could use as default or add to the templates list.
There IS a default template "Table" - but that deals with the content, not the outside spacing.
Template -> AutoFormat does not work either - the outside spacing seems not to be saved when creating a new template:
When I apply an AutoFormat-Template I just created from an existing table to a new one, all formatting is done correctly - but the outer spacing is 0 again.
Is there any way to teach Writer to add the desired spacing by default???
TIA!!
