OK, so I need merged cells for what I'm doing. So, yeah, that would be nice.

As to a gazillion tabs... I didn't add any. In fact, I tried to take them all out.

I hate tabs. I hate tables.

I think I'll move to Australia.

PS - thanks, Brent, for making this gizmo go. I appreciate your hard work.

Australia has tables. And if you sit at one in a restaurant too long, will be have a large tab.

Merged cells work fine for me in e-Sword. I just made a 3 column table in MS Word. Merged one row of cells. Inserted sample text. Copied to e-Sword's Topic Editor. Looks good. I've used them in resources before. Buuuut, I know tabs 'n tables are more fun. :)

Josh,

I noted your sample chapter name. It will take WAY more than a merged cell to accomplish that!

My kids found a VHS copy of an early-90s animated short film based on that book. It's funny. It was also free at a thrift store because the guy wanted to get rid of the hundreds of VHS tapes he has on the wall there.

So, all that to say, I got the reference.

Hi Josh,
In Word 2003 (the one I have) the Tables there really [removed by moderator]. I've played around with the Tables in e-Sword, and find that they lack control. So, when it comes to tables, I either use OO (which is reasonably good), or WordPerfect. Fact is when it comes to creating tables, then copying and pasting it into e-Sword, WordPerfect is the best. Totally unreal eh!

Now, recently I found an Office product that is a lookalike/clone of MS Office, and about a million times cheaper (that is if you can get a product that is a million times cheaper). It's called Kingsoft Office, and it comes out in two packages, Standard and Professional. I dunno how good it is as I never tried it. But is a cheap alternative to MS Office. The Pro edition costs HK$540 (that is Hong Kong dollars). Thought it might be interesting to drop that in.

Drop in and have a gand, and see what you might think of it. http://www.kingsofts...al-office-suite

Blessings,
