Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Tables in Text

Tables and spreadsheets can be included in text documents.

Inserting Tables

There are a number of ways to insert tables in text documents:

Inserting an empty table using the mouse:

1. Place the cursor at the position in the text where to insert the table.

2. Point with the mouse to the Insert table icon on the Insert floating toolbar.

3. Press the mouse button and move the mouse down and to the right until the required

numbers of rows and columns appear in the preview area under the icon.

4. Release the mouse button. (To abort the process, before releasing the button move the

mouse up or to the left until the word Cancel appears in the preview area.)

Inserting an empty table via the Insert menu or floating toolbar:

1. Place the cursor at the position in the text where to insert the table.

2. Select Insert > Table from the Function toolbar or click briefly on the Insert Table icon

on the Insert floating toolbar. Either opens the Insert Table dialogue.

Inserting a single row table by typing

++...

||...

Type a sequence of two or more '+' or '|' characters at the start of a new paragraph and end it

by pressing the Enter key. The paragraph is automatically converted to a table with a single

row and the number of columns equal to one less than the number of '+' or '|' characters.

Separate the '+' or '|' characters by one or more of any of (-, <tab>, <space>, =, _) in order to

determine the initial column widths.

This feature can be turned off/on via the Tools > AutoCorrect > Options dialogue by

toggling the Create Table check box.

Inserting from OpenOffice.org Calc with the clipboard

1. Open the text document and the Calc document from which to insert a range of cells.

2. Select a range of cells from the spreadsheet. Copy it to the clipboard, for example with

Ctrl+c.

3. Switch to the text document. There are now various options for inserting the range of

cells:

• Use the “normal” command Edit > Paste or Ctrl+V to insert the range of cells as an

OLE object. Double-click on the OLE object in order to edit it with Calc tools and

commands. Click outside the object to quit edit mode.
