I've understood that OmniGraffle can be used to create tables.
I need to create a simple table with 3 columns and a bunch of row (I don't know how many).
How do I do that? I'm using version 3.2.4.

Nevermind, I thought I was in the OO forum, not the OG forum.

Short answer - upgrade. OmniGraffle 3.x doesn't have the Table creation feature (however, I think Fraser Spiers has an applescript that can be used to make one in OmniGraffle 3.x ... it might still be a download on the OmniGraffle extras page at the OmniGroup site).

Yes, I read about this script several other places, but alas it's nowhere to be found. This page has a link (http://www.speirs.org/wiki/OmniGraffle#Table_Builder_Script_1.2), but it doesn't work.

I ended up trying to make a (more or less successful) table using OmniOutliner and a sample document (http://www.omnigroup.com/ftp/pub/software/MacOSX/Extras/OmniOutliner/OmniOutlinerSampleDocs.dmg) (from the OmniOutliner extras (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/extras/) page)that wasn't too far off from what I wanted.

Still, that OmniGraffle script sounds interesting -can someone who has it upload it to somewhere, please?
