If you are creating big tables a better alternative would be to create ods/xls spreadsheets from Orgmode tables. So 1. Export the table to csv format using M-x org-table-export RET etc etc 2. C-x C-f test.csv 3. C-u M-x org-lparse-convert RET 4. When prompted for output format use TAB for completion to see the available formats. Pick ods or xls. (Hint: For a superior completion experience enable ido mode) 5. You will see the ods file opening up automagically under writer. (If you have not used C-u in step 4, only conversion will happen. The resulting file will not be opened) Jambunathan K. --
