I recently started using org-mode and love its table feature.  Here are some
questions that I have:

1. In table calculation, how to refer to a cell in a different column and
   different row?  Specifically, I want column 8 row 5 to be the ratio of
   column 7 row 5 and column 7 row 4.

2. I think the table minor mode would be a fantastic tool in editing tables
   in a LaTeX file. I wonder whether it is possible to let orgtbl recognize
   \begin{tabular}\end{tabular} and use & as column delimiter rather than |
   (also respect end of line \\)?

Thanks,

Michael
