    i think the little drop down button menu widget with boxes to quickly
    select how many the rows and columns you want is quite clever (but i
    suspect WordPerfect did it first)

    I much prefer word having a seperate table menu to OpenOffice.org not
    having it.

    But there is still definately plenty of room for improvement and worth
    giving though to this.
