Re: How can I Cut and Paste Calc's Formulae Data into Thunderbird email Client?
Hello, In reference to - "o Paste plain text. If Thunderbird has a facility to paste unformatted text only," I have always used - Ctrl + Shift + V (the Paste Shortcut) to paste into a Thunderbird e mail to paste as unformatted text. This may clear part of the original users problem.

It might be useful to save the spreadsheet as a CSV file and extract the formulae [formulas?] from it. — jt - j...@jt-mj.net Literature encourages tolerance - bigots and fanatics seldom have any use for the arts, because they're so preoccupied with their beliefs and actions that they can't see them also as possibilities. - Northrop Frye - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

TNX Steve. Right now I am not sure I can send anything via Verizon SMTP server. Will try to create a portion of the spreadsheet and place it on DropBox for creation of a link before halftime of football game (being recorded now). Have not ever done that, yet! (Or, perhaps the whole nine yards.) Regards, VinceB. On 10/16/2016 1:04 PM, Steven Ahlers wrote: Vince, You can share the spread sheet through Drop Box and put the link in an email.
