does anyone know how to enter tables into .odt forms? If you have a look at these documents, certain boxes have a grey shade in them and when you click it a drop down box opens and it hase various characters you can insert into the cells, how have they done it? I want to adapt more cells on them to do the same. Or alternatively insert a tick into the boxes.

Don't worry, I've worked it out, you simply copy and paste the cell from somewhere else on the page.

I tried to open the document in MS Word, given that everyone says Open Office produces compatible documents, but it refused to open & Word reported a corruption in the document. At least you have sorted it.
