Re: [libreoffice-users] Select/copy content of a comment

2016-04-01 Thread Eric Beversluis 
I don't get an "edit cell" option. But double left click on the opened 
comment turns out to get me past the drag handles to edit mode.
Don't know why I didn't try the double clicking earlier. That's what 
works in Draw. Somehow it didn't occur to me.


A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

THanks.

How do I select and copy the content of a comment?

[if you're referring to a website, then run the mouse along the 
copy
which should highlight that portion, then right-click & choose copy 
which

should place the highlighted text in the temporary storage so you can
paste
it elsewhere;

 if you're referring to an e-mail, then you can attempt to do the
same -
but sometimes, you'll have to first click as if you were planning to 
send

the document elsewhere in order to make the copy accept the mouse -
why, I
haven't a clue  ;-)]

  When I open the comment and try to select its content, all I get is
a hand
to move the content around on the page.

[whether referring to a site or an e-mail, you could 'save as' this
document to the machine, then try again when it's on your machine - 
why,

this works I haven't a clue other than you've possibly broken whatever
the
site had holding it  ;-)]

(Eg, I've got a long URL in the comment that I want to copy and past 
into
the browser.) The page on inserting and editing comments doesn't 
seem to

address this function.

[simplest method would be to copy a portion of this URL - paste
into a
notepad document; then copy remaining portion of URL - paste this onto
the
portion in notepad - then the whole URL is ready to copy & paste into
your
browser window.]

thanks.
