Creating a Table from a Calc Spreadsheet

You can insert a table from a Calc spreadsheet into a Writer document:

1. Open the Calc spreadsheet containing the cell range that you want to insert.
2. In the spreadsheet, select the cells.
3. Choose Edit → Copy or press  Ctrl  +  C .
4. In the Writer document, choose Edit → Paste or press  Ctrl  +  V . The cell range is pasted as an object.

Alternatively, you can open both the Calc and Writer documents and drag and drop the cells from Calc to Writer:

1. In the spreadsheet, select the cells.
2. Click and hold the mouse button in the selected cells.
3. Drag the selected cells into the text document.

To edit a table created from a Calc spreadsheet, double-click on it. The table opens in Calc.
