Created attachment 65409 [details] screenshot of current behaviour Problem description: When creating form letters from database where column names are long and descriptive, writer expands the columns and rows of table to make the names visible. The problem is, that all other stuff after the table will be displaced, it is moved backwards. But its not like "What you see is what you get". The form letter will not look like i designed it. It makes hard to create such form letters. Current behavior: See attached screen shot (CurrentBehaviour.jpg). Expected behavior: Do it like in the spreadsheet (see screen shot spreadsheet.jpg). The spreadsheet does not expand the column or the row, it shows a little red triangle to show that there is a long name.

I don't think, that this is a bug. But, one can think about such a possible enhancement to force this behavior.
