== Table handling ==

=== Creating a new OpenOffice.org table ===
For a proper DocBook export tables must define a table heading row. To define such a header you have to:
 * Step 1: Strg + F12 (insert table)
   * alternative: Table -> Insert -> Table
 * Step 2: Enable Options -> Heading

== Working with images ==

=== Importing a new image ===
'''Don't copy and paste a new image to an document!'''
 * MenuBar -> Insert -> Picture -> From File

=== Tipps ===
==== Positioning of small icons ====
 * Import the new icon (MenuBar -> Insert -> Picture -> From File)
 * Set anchor 'As Character'
 * Use "Ctrl + X" to cut image
 * Paste image onto it's new position "Ctrl + V"
 * Use "Alt + Cursor-Keys" to move the selected image (it's easier to move small images in this way)
