Opinions and suggestions gratefully received. I've harder ever used tables
in any word processing document so I'm no judge at all. Copying word gives
me an easy point of reference and well as preventing surprises for users.
At first glance at least these menu entries make sense.
1. Insert => (Table,rows,columns,cells) => pops up dialogs
2. delete => (Table,rows,columns,cells) => pops up dialogs
3. Merge Cells => pops up a dialog.
4. Format Table (Change line types I guess)
Cheers
Martin
