Just switch! - Nested Tables in StarOffice 8
One new StarOffice 8 feature that some people might find useful is the support for nested tables in Writer. Via the "Table" menu or the table button it is very simple to create a table.

There are two different ways to create tables within tables. Since the two approaches lead to different results, I want to briefly explain them here. Either ...

... place the cursor into an empty table field, ...

... press the mouse button over the table button, keep it pressed, drag the mouse poiter until the desired table size is selected ...

... release the mouse button and see the result:

..., or enter a few lines of text separated by ENTER, select the text, ...

... click the table button (just click, i.e. release the mouse button immediately), ...

... and have as many table fields added as there were lines of text.

With the second approach no extra empty lines stay in addition to the embedded table. Here is a larger example:

And again with the "View - Nonprinting Characters" option switched off:
