At work my primary goal has to be a word document, because:

     * we have a Windows-XP network with MS-Office software
     * my boss and my colleagues are not firm with other software (I have to
       cooperate with them)

My idea is to insert simple tables into Word (what I asked for in this thread)
and to make more sohisticated tables -like [1]- with latex and include them as
a graphic file. I would NOT like to make such a table with MS-Word! I read an
introductory Latex script and asked our admin to install the Miktex package on
my computer.

At home I can fortunately do what I want (Windows, Linux, OpenOffice,...).

Greg:
To the odfWeave package: in [2] I found the sentence "The package is currently
limited to creating text documents using OpenOffice". So it doesn´t seem work
with MS-Word?
