A point on my wishlist:
I think it would be helpful, if tables in OO writer could break
HORIZONTALLY across pages. I.e. allow table width larger than page width.
So a table would span two facing pages in the final document? This
wouldn't work, would it? Or at least it would be difficult to use.
Normal printers don't print to the edge of the paper, so any table
spanning two pages would have parts that wouldn't print. You'd have
to build in the necessary breaks yourself. Or are you expecting
Writer to split the table at the page margins? Tables are presently
not limited to being within the page margins.
Suppose you create a table split across two pages and then changes to
other parts of the document move it down to the following page. The
table would then be split - unreadably - across two pages which are
not facing. Or would you expect Writer to leave an empty page and
automatically move the table to the next facing pages?
It's probably fairly easy to construct two matching tables on such
facing pages and adjust their vertical positioning to match.
If you are intending to print on, say, A3 paper and then fold it into
an A4 document, you would indeed be able to print a table across a
single spread. But in that case it would be straightforward to admit
that your page size was really A3 and not A4 and to use columns or
frames or sections to position other text around your table.
I trust this helps.
