Hi Brian, On 5/4/07, you wrote:
Can someone tell me if there's a way to move a Table around, just >like eg. moving images? ... And you can reposition the entire table *vertically* by selecting the complete table (use Table | Select > | Table if necessary) and then dragging it down or up the page. Note that, since a table fits between other text, you can't reposition it in isolation; in other words, it cannot be moved beyond the current end of text in the document.
That did the trick. I had the top half of my first page filled with text, ending with a manual page break. The bottom half contained a large picture. At some point I wanted some text left of that picture to explain it's contents, and tried to use a table for that. I only could not place the table beside the picture. Now I see that was because there was no text. So I entered some blank lines and now it works. I say "roughly" because there is one strange behaviour. When I just
drag a table, my set-up seems to copy it instead of moving it. When I use Ctrl+drag instead, the cursor's shape suggests that this should produce a copy instead of a move, which indeed it does. In other words, plain dragging seems to produce a copy instead of a move - in error.
The same thing happens on my Linux system. I don't know whether this is of any help.

It surely was. Thanks. Greetings, Manon Metten.
