[libreoffice-users] Import into a Template

2014-01-12 Thread Tinkerer
I have downloaded a c,s.v file from my Bank and created a Template for the
Bank listing.
I can load the Bank file into a new Spreadsheet and I then have to reformat
it.
Why can I not Import it into the Template, or is there another way?

Tink.

Templates are used to create documents in a standardized way.  You're
not supposed to write to them.  What you should be able to do is create
a custom spreadsheet template for that bank info then create a new
document and import the data into it.

the other sheet with the Bank info.


You are nearly there!

o Select the complete range of data on the new (unformatted) sheet.
o Copy the data.
o Paste the data into your empty (formatted) sheet, but using Edit | 
Paste Special ... (or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste.  In 
the Paste Special dialogue, remove the tick from Paste All if 
necessary and ensure that Formats is *not* ticked.

o Delete the imported sheet.

What I want is a straight Import to wherever I have put the 
cursor.  No complicated choices either.


Only you can decide if this is complicated.

I trust this helps.
