FEC #9: Two [login to view URL] Writer research questions

**Very quick project** for someone that's already familiar with [url removed, login to view] Writer. I need step-by-step directions on how to perform the following two tasks. Originality is *not* needed here; if you can find a Web page that describes each operation, that's fine. I need you to *try* the solution yourself first, before submitting it to me, so as to ensure that it works! :-)
## Deliverables
1. I can't figure out how to do nested tables, i.e., I want to copy a table from one document, and paste it into a single cell of another document's table. I will be doing this many, many times. I have Writer ver 3.3.0, and this functionality was apparently added in ver 2... but I can't find out how to do it. I'm finding plenty of pre-ver-2 posts offering workarounds, and once it was available, well, people just say "do it". :-(
A rather-messy workaround that I'd rather avoid would be to build up a complex master table that includes every row and column from all of the subordinate tables.
2. Writer had originally justified all of my paragraphs correctly, against both the left and right margins, and I had carefully fine-tuned vertical (line) and horizontal (character/word) spacing so that each page is quietly balanced to the eye. (Some forms of design are best when they're least noticed.)
When I then broke out each page individually into separate tables, mostly everything carried through, except for the last line of the few pages where I couldn't end a paragraph naturally at the very bottom. Now, those last lines (orphans? widows?) don't "know" to left/right justify (as if there was more content to the paragraph). Is there a way to force this?
My current workaround is to add a final "word" of "xxxxxx", rendered in white-on-white, which does the job for print, but will show up in search engine caches and the like.
