Chapter 11 :- Tables and Mail Merge
There are three different ways to insert a table in a document; using menu, using icon and using keyboard. You can choose Table → Insert → Table from the menu. The same can be done simply by pressing CTRL + F12 keys.
Name : Here you can enter a name of the table. Table1 is a default table name. You can modify the table name as per your needs.
Size : The required number of rows and columns can be set here. The size of the table, once set, can be changed later, if needed. The default Table size is 2 columns and 2 rows.
Heading : One or more rows can be specified as a heading of the table. The desired number of rows can be specified in ‘The first rows'. The default value is 1. The advantage of defining the row(s) as head row(s) is; when splitting a table into two tables, the Heading row(s) are copied in the second table automatically.
Repeat Heading : This option is little different from the 'Heading'. If you check "Repeat Heading' then the heading row(s) will be repeated on subsequent pages if the table spreads across more than one page.
Border : On selection of this option, Writer surrounds each cell of the table with a border. The border can be changed or can be deleted later.
