--- Comment #11 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to Tomaz Vajngerl from comment #10)
He wants to make from text (oriented in one column) a two column table -
there is no extra column. Without manually changing the data I don't think
it is easily possible to do it in Calc, or am I mistaken.
Depends on the actual values. You can split text into multiple columns and
create a pivot table with the running numbers as row criteria.
But back to Writer: Another example could be
P1 #9 D1 #9 P2 #9 D2
P3 #9 D3 #9 P4 #9 D4
(#9 as tab, could be any other delimiter)
again with the goal to get
P1|D1
P2|D2
The request is to have an option to limit the number of columns. E.g.
[ ] auto split
split into [2]+/-
That means to ignore line wraps (#10#13), or rather virtually replace by a
delimiter, if the number of columns is not reached. And to add a line break
otherwise even when there are more delimiters if the specified number of
columns is reached.
Perhaps it's not so difficult to implement, and from the UI POV I changed my
mind and guess user will understand the solution (OTOH undo is always
possible).
