Hi Yvan,

thanks for your report - I'll try to give a brief reply!

When creating, at the latest tab check Synchronise.
That gives a toolbar to "update links" so that after changing the first, the
others get changed too.

I've no real opinion on this.
Isn't it that this is offered by the steps in the Wizard?

Yep I recognise that. I always jump to step 8.

The menu Edit > Change datasource should do that?

I think you will have given proper instructions to the users :)
Pls do ask for user-support if anything is not clear. For example there is a
group of users with a great variety of skills that can offer help with
questions:
  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/

I think your 2bis is really worth an issue for an enhancement.
Could you be so kind to rewrite this issues summary or create a new one?

Cheers,
Cor
