Table
A table is a regular structure of columns
and
rows, filled with text and images.
Depending on the context, tables can have different meanings, such as:
-
Database table to store structured information in a
database.
- Tables as formatting elements in documents and reports.
- Spreadsheets use tables to represent any information or data.
Tables can be used in OpenOffice.org Writer or Impress to represent information in a tabular way. Tables can have a header and caption. They also can be formatted with a border around the table as well as around columns, rows or individual table cells.
Spreadsheets
are tables of data connected with
formula.
