I would use org tables, but I need to be able to see the table contents in the buffer, and org hides long lines. I tried using table.el but it feels incredibly clumsy - for instance, I can't find a way to add a row to the end of the table, which seems crazy. I am wondering what other people do in this situation - I guess I could use a spreadsheet or an odt document but I would much rather stay in emacs if I can. Thanks as always, Matt --001a11c374b8ae7468051054abbb Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
