A spreadsheet embedded in Impress includes most of the functionality of a spreadsheet in Calc and is therefore capable of performing complex calculations and data analysis. However, if you need to analyze your data or apply formulas, these operations are best performed in a Calc spreadsheet and the results displayed in an embedded Impress spreadsheet.

Many people also use spreadsheets in Impress for creating complex tables or presenting data in a tabular format. However, for this purpose you may find the new Table Design feature (described in Chapter 3) more suitable.
