Yes I did try IBM's Symphony some time ago. I find Lotus 123 and Open Office superior 2. I know one can adjust row heights and column widths with Open Office but I want to copy and paste from existing adjusted backgrounds In Lotus one uses Copy and then Paste Special where one of the tickable option boxes is 'copy column widths and row heights' 3. What I use the function for in Lotus is when I am working from an already created spreadsheet with adjusted columns and rows. I regularly have the need to copy this frame either to the side or below my existing data and sometimes to a newly created spreadsheet I'll wait to see if you have any further comments to make and then submit it as an RFE as you suggest Thanks for the advice
