[the one major drawback in this is the inability to actually print the table]

In theory one could use a combination of Excel with Brainstorm, as Excel can also contain RTF within its cells; I tried copy/pasting between the two and it works OK, though it doesn’t look very nice; Excel surely wasn’t designed with this in mind and text editing is cumbersome. But the grid can be sent straight to the printer.

In any case, one wouldn’t expect to directly print the grid _with_ the full contents, probably only the cells’ title line.

On the other hand, Notebox files can be saved as RTF documents and these can be printed; the notes are serial rather than tabular in this case, but then most meetings’ notes usually are.

As David Tebbutt once remarked, exporting his Brainstorm project notes to Word and formatting them made him appear massively productive.
