PS: What´s OS specific about the problem that when pasting with the
mouse, text is inserted where the mouse pointer happens to be rather
than where the cursor is?

Hi Roxy and John,
I believe you two are using different parts of LibO. It sounds like
John is using Calc, while Roxy is using Writer. The paste special
options in these two modules are different.

not work well in all case

For me, Ctrl+V is "Paste" only, and does not bring up any list and pastes
everything.
In Windows, no "list" is brought up where you can delete any ticks and just
leave
what you want. By using Ctrl+SHIFT+V I get Paste Special, and that brings up a
