Set the borders to the weight you require (including none) in the Table settings. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.15 on Xubuntu 22.04.4 LTS dg193 Posts: 5 Joined: Thu Jan 27, 2022 8:47 pm

Another method, not mentioned in that link, would be to use one or more textframes on each page for the explanations.

Among other suggestions on this page is to use LyX:

In writing the tutorial I was more concerned with the problem of keeping text aligned and parallel. I felt that pairs of linked frames extending over many pages, perhaps for the extent of a full book-length text, might be too complex for an OpenOffice inexperienced user to handle.
