Getting the contents of a table or query into an OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheet

For the longest time, the really easy way of bringing database content into a document didn't work in Calc spreadsheets. At least, not for me. But now in 2.4 it does. So here you go. It's the same approach you use in Writer, just a little more limited.

Choose View > Data sources or  press F4.

Expand the DB you want, then the table or query you want. Select the table or query name.

Click on the upper left corner as shown, the un-obvious little gray square.

Click and hold down and drag into the document. And you'll get your data.
