icon (Figure 145 on page 169).
4) Select the number of rows and columns required from the Insert Table dialog that opens.
5) Alternatively, click the small triangle to the right of the Table icon and select the number
of rows and columns by dragging the cursor.
6) Select a design style from the available options for your table in the Table Design deck in
the Properties section of the Sidebar (Figure 153). If the Table Design section does not
automatically open after inserting or selecting a table, click on the Properties icon at
the side of the Sidebar.

Note
Selecting from any of the styles in the Table Design section in the Sidebar creates a
table based on that style. If you create a table by another method, you can still apply a
style of your choice later.
The Table toolbar in Impress offers the same functions as the Table toolbar in Writer, with the
exception of the calculation functions Sort and Sum. To use Sum and Sort in your presentation,
you have to insert a Calc spreadsheet.
