              Perhaps only the examples are useful to have in a spreadsheet? Have a look at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-417

              While I was playing with jbehave I made a Story loader to load ODT files in order to use OpenOffice to create scenario's. This way you can add also other information to the stories like images, styling, ...
              I put the code on google-code: http://code.google.com/p/jbehave-utils/ (maven project with some tests)

              Maybe ODS files (spreadsheat) can be done in a similar way?

              Started with ODT format support. Other formats like ODS can be added later in the same jbehave-odf module.

              I wonder if this is the time to introduce a strategy such as StorySource: List<Story> getStories(). Then all these various... er, story sources could be used by anything which needed stories, via Configuration implementations or whatever. And it would make mocking nice and easy.

              I realise that many story sources get their stories from a path, but that's not a necessary feature of being a StorySource as suggested here.

              Hi Jon, the support of alternative formats to load stories is quite a separate concern.

              Let's discuss the proposed story source strategy separately.

              Mauro,

              I made some adjustments in order to use a real odt table in the text document. In that sense you can specify the example table with a nice layout. I attached the changes I made to your code.
