Description Heiko Tietze 2016-06-14 06:35:59 UTC

Tables are a way to layout and structure information. Some issues hinders the efficient work.

Hola.

Draw me resulta sumamente útil para maquetar formularios con las tablas. Pero no me permite crear mi propio estilo de tabla ni anular los estilos que vienen por defecto. Los mismo interfieren con el diseño cuando intento dividir una celda o me duplican el trabajo cada vez que quiero insertar una tabla.
Gracias.

Heiko, is there any chance we could add a new GSoC project idea to [1] that consists of improving tables in Impress?

It would involve fixing bugs reported in this Meta ticket, in addition to modernizing how tables are handled in Impress.

[1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#Impress

As a frequent user of Impress tables myself, I come across too many bugs and UX issues (most of them reported here). Moreover, creating tables in Impress is something a lot of users do.

So I believe having someone working with Impress tables will pay off well.

An enhancement project would require a more specific topic. What exactly do you have in mind to make your life easier? If you talk about fixing bugs it's IMO better to also focus on something.
