The options at the bottom of the dialog can be used to adjust more specifically how<br />

the table style should be applied:<br />

Apply section<br />

Allows you to specify which formatting options to apply.<br />

For example, if you deselect all options except Borders, only the border lines<br />

will be applied; all the other formatting options remain untouched.<br />

Title bars section<br />

Allows you to specify if the table should contain e.g. headers or footers (formatted<br />

in a different way).<br />

You can see the effect of these options right in the Sample field. For example,<br />

when you deactivate the Footer option, the last row in the table looses its special<br />

formatting. It will be formatted like any other “ordinary” table cells.<br />

Converting a table to text<br />

With the Table > Convert Table to Text command, you can transform a table into<br />

text.<br />

An example: You want to turn a table with 2x2 cells into a list, in which the<br />

contents of the cells will be separated by semicolons.<br />

To do this, proceed as follows:<br />

1. Position the text cursor in any cell of the table.<br />

2. Invoke the Table > Convert Table to Text command.<br />

3. Select the desired Separator character, in this case the Semicolon.<br />

4. Confirm with OK.<br />

The contents of the table are now converted into normal text – from left to right<br />

and top to bottom.<br />

So, if you convert a table like this one ...<br />

Cell1<br />

Cell3<br />

Cell2<br />

Cell4<br />

... you will get text like this:<br />
