It is not going to be of use to me for I would only want to copy a line or
block of selected cells

The Paste Special in Lotus 123 with its Copy  Column Widths and Row Heights
box makes it perfectly simple which is why I hoped to find  a similar
facility in OO

Looks like I'll just have to spend a few minutes making manual adjustments
to heights and widths when necessary
