Using tables
Tables are useful when you want to show structured information in your drawing, for example a
specification list or drawing title block. You can create tables directly in Draw, eliminating any need
to embed a Calc spreadsheet or a Writer text table in your drawing. The tables provided by Draw
do have a limited functionality.
Creating tables
When working with tables, it is useful to know the number of rows and columns required as well as
the appearance. Tables are placed on a drawing in a text box and cannot be placed into objects or
shapes. Also, unlike text boxes and other objects, tables cannot be rotated.
Figure 218: Insert Table dialog
1) Go to Insert > Table on the main menu bar to open the Insert Table dialog (Figure 218).
2) Select the number of columns and number of rows for the table.
3) Click OK and a table is placed in the center of your drawing inside its own text box.
4) Move the table into position by dragging it to its new position, see “Using text boxes” on
page 168 for more information.
