You can also limit the fields you use to less than all of the
fields available.
• If you want to use all of the fields, use the double arrow
pointing to the right to move all of them at one time. The
order of the fields in the table you create will be the same as
in the data source table.
• To remove a single field from the Table Column(s) list, click
the field and use the single arrow pointing to the left.
• To start over, click the double arrow pointing to the left.
5) Select the settings for your table. Use the default settings as in
Figure 222.

Calc spreadsheets
There are two ways to enter data in a Calc spreadsheet. One enters the
data into the spreadsheet cells. The other creates records in the
spreadsheet just like they are done in creating a form in a database.
While you can directly access the data in the spreadsheet cells, you can
only see the data in the records created in the spreadsheet.
Entering data directly to the spreadsheet cells uses the Data to Text
icon as we did to make a table in a Writer document. But differences
exist in these two situations.
The steps are straightforward.
1) Click the cell of the spreadsheet which you want to be the top left
of your data including the column names.
2) Use F4 to open the database source window and select the table
whose data you want to use.
3) Select the rows of data you want to add to the spreadsheet:
• Click the gray box to the left of the row you want to select if
only selecting one row. That row is highlighted.
• To select multiple rows, hold down the Control key while
clicking the gray box of the rows you need. Those rows are
highlighted.
• To select all the rows, click the gray box in the upper left
corner. All rows are highlighted.
4) Click the Data to text icon to insert the data into the spreadsheet
cells.
5) Save the spreadsheet.
