I am not organized enough to take full advantage of its abilities but I plan to get more organized Any Day Really Soon Now. But I do regularly use the table feature and especially the spreadsheet abilities. I use org-mode for all my spreadsheet needs. I think that the ability to refer to the contents of a table cell from outside of the table and in particular from another table would be very useful. Tables could have labels associated with them and then one could refer to their cells in a fomat like "label@3$2" or even "/path/to/filename/label@3$2". Thanks, Nikos
