Thank you, Mike for your interest and suggestion. I was not familiar with the concatenate function, and it does look a powerful one. But I am not sure it helps me greatly in what I want to do, since I do wish to retain the cell identities – it’s just that I want them in more readily presentational-editable form.
What I have done for the moment is to select the entire range of active cells in the document, copy them, and then paste-special-HTML into a new odt, which gives me a simple text table. From there it is straightforward to select and copy content re a single item to a slightly different (more reader-friendly) table to accompany the image to which it refers. It is not clear to me why whoever set up the original index chose to do so as a spreadsheet. There is very little likelihood of the sophisticated ‘search’ functions being used. Conversely, I am a great fan of tables in odts – use them all the time for all sorts of purposes, sometimes merely transitional.
