Adding columns to tables

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Hi,

Is there a method to add a column to an existing (formatted) table, eg a table taken from a template document ?

Thanks.

bob

Re: Adding columns to tables

There is no direct method to add a column in a table with OpenOffice::OODoc.

In the OOo/ODF XML, a table is made of rows, and a row is made of cells. The role of the column XML elements in a table is to bear some common layout data.

The best practical way to append a column is an explicit loop which appends a cell to each row, and the replication of the last column element.
