Description

We received some feedback from Kelvin Lawrence, a Distinguished Engineer in
Karla's organization. He was reading spreadsheet and adding content to it. He
found that when we wanted to add a new cell, he needed to first add a new
column to the table. And then he could add a cell. If he did not do this, you
got an exception. He thought that this extra step was unnecessary. It makes it
more complicated for the user. So, we wonder if we can make the table
"automatically expand" when a cell is written to that is outside of the
original table?
For example:
OdfTable table; // assume a 4x4 table
OdfTableCell cell = table.getCellByPosition(5,5);
cell.setStringValue("foo");
