For the Open Office users. Using OO equivalent of Powerpoint, how do
you insert a table ? I'm able to insert a spreadsheet, but after 1/2
hour of trying to insert a table, I had to tell my son to use our old
PC that has MS powrpoint and do his project on there.

Cedric,
I just created an OOo .doc with a table, went to OOo Impress, went to
Insert - Object, selected 'other' from the object types list, navigated
to the file with only the table, and it inserted first time.

Thanks for that. Will try it tonight. Power point much easier however.
Simply click on Insert - Table & Bobs your uncle. OO guru's need to add
this to their to do list. The simpler the better, otherwise people won't
easily change to OO

Granted it is a bit obscure if you go hunting for the "table" word.
Reflects the major problem with nearly all IT documentation I have
ever read - index has jargon words and if you don't know the "right"
jargon word to use, then you will never find the concept you are
looking for.
Inserting a WP document does not resize nicely - since the entire
document is an object.
I think it's easier to:
Insert:Object:OLE Object:OO Spreadsheet
This is in fact a "table" with full spreadsheet functionality
available. I think this is the functionality you want. When finished
editing the spreadsheet object, the cell identifiers go away. If you
want borders/colours/etc, add them to the sheet.
