like in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

a hand appears and one can move the table by mouse, so that one doesn't have to 
sequentially use the horizontal and vertical scrollbar.

an action combination for doing so could be ALT+left mouse button.

Alternatively there could be a small overview window accessible (whose state is 
saved application dependant (that is a user finds this window always in the 
state he left it; + "auto roll-up/roll-down" might be nice)) where one moves 
the displayed part of the table, like "Overview Window" in Paintshop Pro 7.

Hi Falko,

Peter->Lars: I think enhancements should be flagged for ALL platform/OS.
BTW: I think you can configure most mouse drivers to support such actions.

A table in Writer should behave like any other object if it comes to
anchoring and positioning.
The user should be able to grab the table and resize and move it
freely in the document.
It should also be possible to anchor the table to page, paragraph,
character and as character.

Add to that-

There should be a provision to let the user SELECT a table. Currently if the
user selects an entire table, only the text inside it is selected; and not the
structure of the table. So, if he moves the table, a new table is created at the
destination spot, but the old structure remains behind.

The simple workaround is to put the table into a Frame.

I wonder what ODF specifications tell here concerning table design.
