Open Office "next cell" character? [Solved]
« on: October 06, 2012, 02:06:22 pm »
Does a character exist in Apache OpenOffice that is interpreted to mean a column break in the same way that a line break takes you to the next row? I'm attempting to hack together an efficient way of transporting output from a Java program that is in the form of a 10x10 table, and I'd like to have each piece of data pop neatly into its own cell; line breaks are preserved, but everything as I've currently got it gets slotted into a single column, and I do not have great interest in manually fixing it if there's a way around, so I'm looking for a character I can have it print that will do the job for me.

EDIT: Family member reminded me how to use delimiters. Problem solved, albeit by a different route entirely.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

First thoughts : "Open Office begins cloning Dragonball Z and makes an analogue character for every baddy."

Second thoughts : Good luck with that; I'd like to help and I have OO myself, but for all it tries to mimic word, some processes are utterly alien to me.  :-\
