Open Office @#$@% me off.

I have now created two versions of this same freaking
simple @!#! worksheet.  One version works beautiful, 
you can tab between input fields and it looks great but you
cannot edit the $#@$@% @#!$ !@#!$^%@% table data without going
into 'design mode'.

So I figure WTH, I'll create another and use a slightly different
approach. Now I have what is basically a spreadsheet inside of a word
document where EVERY field gets a tab stop.  Sure the table data is editable
Great problem solved but navigation is now a disaster and it doesn't hide
the unbordered cells like it did in the other version once you toggled out
of design mode.  It completely ignores my tab field order defined in the
fields.  Now I like Open Office for the most part but it's times like these
that really makes a person want something else.

Two days now I've spent on this $@%@!#% #!#! $!$ @#@%)^))@_(@#
$@)*@#)%!@&#)!@$

...The road to happiness is forgiveness... Now that my one and only true 
love is back in my arms, I am happy.
I now know the mistakes I have made and will not make them again.

(MATT 6:14-16 KJV) For if you forgive men when they sin against you, 
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive

Well as usual I have no idea what I did differently,
but I have acceptable results.  Talk about an exercise in
frustration sheesh.  I'd love to have been a participant
in usability study today. ;-)
