Tables
Define how to convert tables
Choose Tools - Options - Writer2LaTeX - Tables
Do not export tables
Check this option to ignore all tables in the export.
Use colortbl.sty (background color in cells)
Check this if you want to apply background color to tables using the package colortbl.sty. This option has no effect unless you also check Use color.sty on the page Characters.
Use tabulary.sty (automatic column width)
Check this if tabulary.sty should be used to export tables. This package determines column widths automatically which can be useful for tables with a lot of text in each cell.
Use supertabular.sty (multipage tables)
Check this to use the package supertabular.sty to export tables which may break across pages.
Use longtable.sty (multipage tables)
Check this to use the package longtable.sty to export tables which may break across pages.
Style for first head
This option is used to produce advanced tables, that are not supported in %PRODUCTNAME Writer. Enter the name of a paragraph style, or select a style in the list. If the first paragraph of the first cell in a row is formatted with this paragraph style, the row in question will be used for the first head in a multipage table.
Style for head
Likewise this option specifies a paragraph style that identifies a repeating head in a multipage table (like a normal table head in %PRODUCTNAME Writer).
Style for foot
This option specifies a paragraph style that identifies a repeating foot in a multipage table.
Style for last foot
This option specifies a paragraph style that identifies the last foot in a multipage table.
Table sequence name
This option can be set to a sequence name in the source document. OpenDocument has a very weak sense of table captions: A table caption is a paragraph containing a sequence number. If you use %PRODUCTNAME's defaults, Writer2LaTeX can guess which sequence name to use. If it fails, you can type the name here, or select the name from the list. (Note that %PRODUCTNAME Writer has four basic sequence names which always will be displayed in English here. These are Drawing, Illustration, Table, Text.) Normally this field should be left empty.
