Heiko,

I am the original porter (OP) of this request.

I do constantly used both.  In my technical opinion, although your are
absolutely correct, both do work, your method is a good 10 times more difficult
to use and is not as intuitive to the user.  Please do not look at this a "we
already have a way, don't fix what is not broken", but as "how can we make this
more user friendly". If you like doing thing the obscure, difficult way, leave
the current method in place as an alternative.

You already support tabs in Calc, so add the feature to Writer should be a
piece of cake.

It would be wonderful if you would institute this request and would EVER fix
the envelope printing, then I and others could FINALLY get off the DEFUNCT Word
Pro, which works better than Writer and has been dead and unsupported for about
20 years or so.

This is what tabs looks like in Calc.  Here are two tabs.  One is "January" and
its 1:1 text is "Month 1"; the second its "February" and its 1:1 text is "Month
02":

   <table:table table:name="January" table:style-name="ta1">
    <table:table-column table:style-name="co1"
table:default-cell-style-name="Default"/>
    <table:table-row table:style-name="ro1">
     <table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string">
      <text:p>Month 01</text:p>
     </table:table-cell>
    </table:table-row>
   </table:table>

   <table:table table:name="Feburary" table:style-name="ta1">
    <table:table-column table:style-name="co1"
table:default-cell-style-name="Default"/>
    <table:table-row table:style-name="ro1">
     <table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string">
      <text:p>Month 02</text:p>
     </table:table-cell>
    </table:table-row>
   </table:table>


You now have an army of folks also requesting this, so it is time it got
implemented.

Many thanks,
-T
