The "evil alternative", IF you are referring to MS Office, doesn't do it at all
under some circumstances. I do have access only to Office XP at home, and cannot
test it today on Office Vista, but these are my findings:
1.) merge some cells, e.g. A1:D2
2.) enter some text
3.) enter some text into F1:F2
A.) MOVING
4.) select column F
5.) move over merged area
=> ERROR: Cannot change part of a merged cell.
B.) COPY/PASTE
4.) select column F
5.) COPY
6.) PASTE over column B
7.) content is pasted outside of merged cells
BUT NOT inside the merged cells
=> NOT necessarily what the user wants
[Also, NO notification to the user that something went wrong.]
C.) CUT/PASTE
4.) select column F
5.) CUT
6.) PASTE over column B
7.) "This operation will cause some of the merged cells to unmerge"
I would like to do it better in Calc than in Excel. That is why I started the
discussion.
I do not want i.) to unmerge cells, or ii.) to loose content. I hope everyone
agrees.
