Bravo ! Excellent !
Hello,
I just downloaded & tried your extension. It works very fine, giving perfect results.
Please note :
- a button would be really useful
- the macro also works on Linux (and OSX I suppose), so you shouldn't restrict it to Windows.
How to add a button and/or menu item
I couldn't figure out (read: didn't take the time yet) how to include the button and menu entry in the extension, but it is pretty easy to do in the OpenOffice.org interface.
To add a toolbar button (or Menu item):
Tools -> Customize -> Toolbars (or Menu to add a menu item)
Select the toolbar you want to add the button to, then click "Add..."
Scroll down to expand "OpenOffice.org Macros" in the left pane.
My Macros -> Calc2LaTeX -> Calc2LaTeX
Then select "Main" in the right hand, and click Add
Back in the Toolbars (or Menus) tab, select Modify, and Rename to Calc2LaTeX
I changed the Icon to something that looks like a table.
If someone knows how to include the menu item and/or the toolbar button in an extension, let me know and I'll update the extension.

Thanks

I hope you like this. It has really helped me
I find making tables in LaTeX painful and error-prone. This macro makes it blindingly simple.
Let me know if you have problems installing or running it. This is my first extension, so I expect there to be at least a little trouble, and I would enjoy figuring out the system to make it work.
how do we use it?

How to use:
Select the cells in the spreadsheet that you want to put into LaTeX syntax.
In Calc, go to Tools -> Macros -> Run Macro... -> My Macros
Expand Calc2LaTeX, select Calc2LaTeX, and select Main, then click Run
The settings dialog will come up where you can select how you want the table to be created in LaTeX syntax, and whether the results should be output to a results window (for copy/paste) or saved to a file (for LaTeX import command).
One thing I have done is to add a button so this macro can be run from a toolbar. You can create a button very easily:
Go to View -> Toolbars -> Customize
Select the toolbar you want to add the button
Click Add
Under Category, expand OpenOffice.org Macros -> My Macros -> Calc2LaTeX -> Calc2LaTeX
Under Commands, select Main and click Add
Under Customize Toolbars, click Modify, Rename "Main" to "Calc2LaTeX", and select an appropriate icon (or create your own).
Some day, I will try to add this button to the extension.
