Is there any way of creating a report in Database that is not in the

Thanks for any help with this.

Maybe not exactly what you're asking -- but have you tried saving a
copy (so you can edit), then clicking somewhere in the table and
using Table > Convert > Table to Text on the report? Does that give
you what you want?
Barbara,
Thank you! That works out rather well, though it calls for some
editing. By the way clicking in the table does not open the option to
convert, but clicking "Table" on the task bar does. And then opting to
separate with the "paragraph" option and then clicking on "columns" to
organize the text does just what I want, namely to print out a
personal address book that is otherwise very crammed when in table form.
Thanks again. Open office is amazing. Who is paying for all this, and
why?
Best,
Sylvain
Glad you got there! I just said to click in the table so you would have
the menu bar Table options, including Convert, available -- if the
active cursor is outside the table, the Convert option would be grayed out.
Most of the work on OpenOffice.org is done for free, both the coding and
support. For the things that need actual money, OOo relies on
contributions from users and others -- Sun Microsystems is a major
contributor, I think. As for why, it's mostly because open source
projects are a great way to get a lot of capability to people who would
otherwise either go without, or be locked in to proprietary solutions,
with more money being dragged out of them every time there's an upgrade.
Feels really good, and generates a lot of good will for Sun and others
who help.
