I'm late getting to experimenting with 2.0, so apologies if this
query has been answered before, and I haven't noticed.
I want to generate a report from calc, but I can't see how to do it.
In 1.1 there is a report auto pilot in the file menu, but not in 2.0.
The task I'm trying to do is to select and print in my report those
cells containing a particular name amongst others. At the moment, I
am having to resort to using the "find all" button, then laboriously
copying and pasting the results.
I've tried the help file and the google search in OOo's tutorial
pages without finding what I'm sure is a very simple answer.

Have you tried to register the Calc file as a database and then
create the report from the database?

It doesn't seem possible to do that: only data files can be registered
as databases as far as I can see.
I've only just realised that I raised the same issue when 1.9 first came
out. (Having gone back to 1.4 afterwards, I forgot about it)
The replies to that previous query confirmed that indeed reports had
been dropped from writer and calc, and I was referred to
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44411. However, on
re-visiting that, I see the issue is closed, having been declared
'invalid'.
Am I the only one who thinks that is a real loss?
Obviously not as I opened the issue in March. However, I have seen since
that even having to go via Base wizard is not that big a deal. Awkward
and not particularly intuitive but doable.

I suspect that it's a loss but I haven't the experience with version 1
to assert that.

Try the 1.1.x report generator. I is quite nice.
But I'm developing a document using 1.9.125.
