Moving Columns or Rows in Writer Texttable

Post by JeJe »

Attached is a very simple extension to easily move writer columns or rows in a texttable.
(the existing way of Drag and drop oddly overwrites the column or row with the one being moved)

Will only work with regular tables (no merged cells)

Seems okay in LO and OO but usual use-at-own-risk disclaimer.

Install extension then set a shortcut to or otherwise run macro

JeTable2 module AAA Sub ShowRowColMoveDialogA

A dialog will pop up if the cursor is in a texttable

Select the wanted column or row from the appropriate ComboBox and click the arrows to move
