Hi :) Did you let us know which Operating System? Is it Windows 7? or could you let us know just the platform, such as Windows, Linux, Mac or BSD?
Yes, this is no good as a long-term solution to your particular requirements - but it might be a good temporary work-around for right now giving you time to look into other ways of doing the job. Just a bit of brain-storming ... * Would Base's Forms or Reports be a better way of doing this? * How about using html? * If there is not much text between tables then Calc might be useful and much simpler. * Might it be possible to work on the xml inside the .Odt container format? [1] * In CV Alkan's answer does Ctrl x (or other way of doing a "Cut") have the same effect and can the contents of the table then be pasted into a new table without altering it's layout? * Again, could Frank's method be adapted using Ctrl Shift v (or other way of doing "paste special") to paste and does that neatly replace the original table with the new layout? [1] You know that if you rename the file-ending from .odt to .zip then you can open it as a zip-file. Inside there are some folders and xml files and things. Of course it is usually best to create a copy of the original file and do the renaming and other work on the back-up jic something goes wrong while you experiment with it.
