Re: Re: Can't import a remote reference to a whole column in orgtbl

Hi Michael,

this is neat, but still kind of hard to do, because you have to put  
all these formulas there by hand.  I am skipping this for the manual -  
maybe you'd like to put this into org-hacks, or into the FAQ on Worg?

Thanks.

"At least" because you can also put a partial column into a shorter  
column
in the new table.
