Set the borders to the weight you require (including none) in the Table settings.

Another method, not mentioned in that link, would be to use one or more textframes on each page for the explanations.

Among other suggestions on this page is to use LyX:

In writing the tutorial I was more concerned with the problem of keeping text aligned and parallel. I felt that pairs of linked frames extending over many pages, perhaps for the extent of a full book-length text, might be too complex for an OpenOffice inexperienced user to handle.
