Ma Yue,

We will need to preserver table structure - (access to table headers, column headers, rows, cells, columns, etc.).

Subject	[office] Table in presentation

I think the table in presentation is more about to layout the content in a table structure that focusing the friendly content representation.

On my mind, there are two options for the specs:

1. leverage the existing ODF table spec but not same as the table in spreadsheet, just limit to basic table functions, make presentation table in <draw;frame> which make the spec simple and have some consistency with original table spec.

2. use the <draw:g> to represent the table with group shapes or text-box, adding specific specification, such as an attribute "table" of <draw:g> , also need add layout information and some constraint information. This solution is easy for existing ODF application to introduce the table support in presentation by leveraging the group functions.

Thx,
