The best thing to do is to copy and paste. Copy the cells you want, then go to the Writer document.

  • To just paste it as a spreadsheet, choose Paste.
  • To paste it and make it look like a table, choose Edit > Paste Special, Formatted Text.
  • To paste it and connect it to the spreadsheet so the Writer document is updated when the spreadsheet is updated, choose Edit > Paste Special, Link.
