  • Table creation in RO

    From Dave@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 30 19:51:31 2022
    Asking on behalf of a friend...

    Does RISC OS have any 32 bit table creation software?

    Thanks
    Dave

    After thought...
    Can tables be created in Fireworkz?

    I've never tried it in Fireworkz but it might be possible. You can create tables in EasiWriter and TechWriter.

    I've never tried it in Fireworkz but it might be possible. You can
    create tables in EasiWriter and TechWriter.

    Surely spreadsheets are tables?
    With that assumption, Fireworkz can certainly create tables.

    Or do you have something else in mind?

    IIRC, since 2.30, Fireworkz Pro (not the free one) does the "saving as an
    OLE drawfile" trick that TableMate used to do, so it can be used to create editable tables for OLE-aware software like Impression and O-Pro.

    What are the tables to be used for?

    Organising text (word processor, DTP, web site), or calculating from them (spreadsheet)?

    Or tables in a database?

    Thanks for your thoughts folks, I'll pass them on.

    On a personal note I create tables in Eureka, saved in OLE form which I
    use back and forth in OvPro.

    If you drag a CSV file onto Techwriter (and possibly Easiwriter) it
    creates a table.
