Description fran 2009-05-12 12:56:13 UTC 
In Word I used to convert paragraphs in table. I Writer I can do something
similar, but from each single paragraph I obtain single rows. I'd like ti tell
Writer then it must split "n" paragraphs in a table of "n" columns.
Example: I have 12 paragraphs and I want a table with, e.g., 3 columns and 4 rows.
It is very useful for instance to convert list of names and addresses.

Sounds a little similar to issue 6953.
Desired is an option to tell the Text->table conversion about the resulting
table size and after how many paragraphs a new table row should be used.

No, is not like issue 6953: I mean something different.
Suppose to have, e.g., 6 paragraphs, I would like to convert in table, but not
single column table. I want a table 2x3 or 3x2, or 1x6 (not only 6x1). I miss a
field in which express the number of column I want.
