Description falko.tesch 2003-09-26 08:48:59 UTC 
Product Requirement 
Easier way to add tables and manipulate tables

Customer Need/Problem
Difficulty inserting tables into SO/OOo Writer documents.

Product Concept
Inserting a table in Writer is sometimes a quite abstract task. There is no
visual support to the user only a single dialogue ('Insert - Table') that
requires the input of abstract row and column numbers. There are two approaches
to make table insertion easier: Offer the user an icon that auto-expands to as
many rows and columns as user user desires by dragging them with the mouse.
Releasing the mouse-button will insert the table with exactly this row and
column number (see analogy to 'Page Preview -> functionality of the 'Multiple
Pages' icon) Offer a 'table-draw' functionality. 
While 1) is with the current table implementation's boundaries 2) is an enhanced
feature that must be covered by the new table implementation. BTW: It might be
useful to re-think the default row and column numbers, currently 5 columns and
only 2 rows) Additionally, a new Table menu makes the table commands more
obvious and easier to access.
