[libreoffice-users] Frustrated with stupid behavior while trying to do a project.
I am using a table to list all of our scattered names, phone numbers, etc to keep them together in alphabetical order. It means I guess where the names go and cut and paste to put entries in the correct places. All has been fine, until now. Now suddenly, I can't cut and paste one of the cells. It cuts, but won't paste where I want it to go.. I tried to just write the information into the cell and get this message: "Read only content; Write protected content cannot be changed. No modifications will not be accepted" It's my document for heaven's sake. I didn't write protect it. I've tried to find a place under the table menu where something got changed and can't. If I have to I'll try save it under another name and then see if the problem sticks, but I shouldn't have to. Can anyone tell me how this glitch happened and if there's anything I can do to change it? I've been working all day and hoped to finish tonight. What's wrong with this program!
