XThis (my message) IS off topic but I'm trying to figure out where and why "Re: [SPAM?] " got added to the subject of Susan's message, The five headers that pertain to spam are: X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at bilbo2.documentfoundation.org X-Spam-Flag: NO X-Spam-Score: -1.9 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.9 tagged_above=-999 required=6.31 tests=[BAYES_00=-1.9, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_BLOCKED=0.001, SPF_HELO_PASS=-0.001] autolearn=ham I guess that the prior message in the discussion got tagged as potential spam on its way to Susan.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Calc - moving text in cell + comparison chart
Ctrl+Enter does the job for as long as I can remember in the LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org Calc product line. -- Jim -Original Message- From: charles meyer To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Sun, 26 Apr 2015 11:33 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Libre Calc - moving text in cell + comparison chart Hi Folks, I’m learning the function keys between MS Excel and Libre Calc work quite differently. In Excel if you wish text in a cell to return to the next line in that cell, you choose Ctrl + Enter. That’s doesn’t seem to work in Libre Calc. Could you please share how that is done in Libre Calc? Has anyone happened upon any comparison chart showing how to accomplish certain functions in Libre Calc compared with how you perform them in MS Excel? MS has shared that with MS Word and WordPerfect so if you’re transitioning into MS Word you can acclimate easier. Thanks so much!

Which is kind of strange as Cmd-Enter inserts a page break in Writer, whereas in Writer both Ctrl-Enter and Shift-Enter insert a newline, even in table cells. -- Piet van Oostrum WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
