Hi Tom,

My platform is OS X.  I only use Mac or Linux and avoid Windows like the plague.

Yes.  I know that ODF is basically just a zip file.

Hi :)  
Did you let us know which Operating System?  Is it Windows 7?  or could you let us know just the 
platform, such as Windows, Linux, Mac or BSD?  


Yes, this is no good as a long-term solution to your particular requirements - but it might be a 
good temporary work-around for right now giving you time to look into other ways of doing the 
job.    

Just a bit of brain-storming ... 
*  Would Base's Forms or Reports be a better way of doing this?  
*  How about using html? 
*  If there is not much text between tables then Calc might be useful and much simpler.  
*  Might it be possible to work on the xml inside the .Odt container format?  [1]
*  In CV Alkan's answer does Ctrl x (or other way of doing a "Cut") have the same effect and can 
the contents of the table then be pasted into a new table without altering it's layout?  
*  Again, could Frank's method be adapted using Ctrl Shift v (or other way of doing "paste 
special") to paste and does that neatly replace the original table with the new layout?  

[1] You know that if you rename the file-ending from .odt to .zip then you can open it as a 
zip-file.  Inside there are some folders and xml files and things.  Of course it is usually best 
to create a copy of the original file and do the renaming and other work on the back-up jic 
something goes wrong while you experiment with it.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi Frank,

That’s interesting and useful but this is a dynamic document.  Tables may have  to be changed 
frequently without deleting content.

Thanks for the reply,
Steve

Hi -

The way I do this is to simply copy the table I want to mimic. Table | Select | Table | Ctrl+C

Then paste it at the location I want. Ctrl+V

Then select the pasted table. Table | Select | Table

Then press the Delete key. You might think this would delete the table, but it just deletes the 
contents, leaving styles, backgrounds, borders and things all the same. It will also keep the 
repeat rows for header property as well.

For tables that will repeat a lot, thia is much easier. It would be nice to have table styles, 
but I personally would rather have the developers working on the serious regression bugs that 
exist.

I hope this makes life a little easier.

Frank
