Hi!
Is there anyway in Writer to copy a table - not only its content but
with all the layouts and formatting - become a nested table in a cell
of another table?
I know I can create a new nested table inside that cell and copy the
content of the first table into that new table, but it will not
preserve row heights, merged cells, border setups, etc. The table I
would like to copy have all this complex layouts, and I would like to
preserve them.
Sorry to resend and CC discuss. From lack of response earlier it seems
that this cannot be done easily, can it? If there currently no way to
do it from OpenOffice.org interface, can it be done using scripting?
Thanks!
Still resounding silence, apparently. I guess you got no answer because
we didn't know how to help. Some of the table properties would be in
conflict (most notably column width, probably), so I doubt that there's
any supported way to do this. A complex table like what you're
describing might be better linked to as an external object, though I
haven't yet tried that. Or, if it doesn't have to be modifiable, it
could be made into a graphic and inserted that way. Otherwise, I think
you'd have to create an appropriate table structure within the cell,
make any necessary property adjustments for widths, heights, and
borders, and then copy the contents. Not sure about the scripting
possibilities, I have no experience with that.
