7/7 Summary ● Originally requested in 2013, multi-page floating tables arrived to Writer ● COOL 23.05 / LibreOffice 24.2 ● Status: enabled by default for all DOCX, DOC & RTF files ● How it interacts with headers/footers, orphan/widow control, minimal row height, compatibility modes, change tracking, etc. – is complex, but we cover it ● Defaulting to the way today’s Word (>= 2013) does it, but also have a legacy mode for older documents
