Hi Russel,
hmmm, an alternative would be to introduce a new property and do the
computation in the properties. I can see that it would be relatively
simple to define a TBLFM line that should be added to the table
capturing the the column view, but if you need to add extra columns to
the table, this makes things a lot harder.
