Figure 278: Inserting a new table using the Insert Table dialog box

Under Options, set up the initial table characteristics. Selecting the options in this

section of the dialog produces the following results:

• Heading — Defines the first row(s) in the table as headings. The default Table

Heading paragraph style is applied to the heading rows and thus makes the

text centered, bold, and italic. You can edit the OOo-predefined Table Heading

paragraph style in the Styles and Formatting window to change these default

settings. When splitting a table into two tables, the Heading row(s) are copied

in the second table.

• Repeat heading — Repeats the heading row(s) of the table at the top of

subsequent pages if the table spans more than one page.

The first ... rows —Specifies the number of rows to be repeated. Default is 1.

• Don’t split table — Prevents the table from spanning more than one page.

This can be useful if the table starts near the end of a page, and would look

better if it were completely located on the following page. If the table becomes

longer than would fit on one page, you will need to either deselect this option

or manually split the table.

• Border — Surrounds each cell of the table with a border. This border can be

modified or deleted later.

The AutoFormat button opens a dialog box from which you can select one of the

many predefined table layouts. See “Automatic formatting of tables” on page 284 for

more information.

After making your choices, click OK. Writer creates a table as wide as the text area

(from the left page margin to the right page margin), with all columns the same width

and all rows the same height. You can then adjust the columns and rows later to suit

your needs.

Tip

To directly insert a table with the default properties, click on the little

arrow next to the Table icon on the Standard toolbar. A graphic appears

where you can choose the table’s size (rows and columns). To create the

table, click on the cell that you want to be on the last row of the last

column. Holding down the mouse button over the Table icon will also

display the graphic.
