John, That is strange - very strange. I don't have hardly any of that on my window. On the left side of the "box" I have: Source: Unknown
Selection and under Selection in the window, the 3 options I have on the "text" I have copied. There are no numbered tick boxes - I have to highlight/select whichever option I want. Over on the right hand side of the box I have 3 buttons: OK, Cancel, and Help. And that's it - that's all that is there. My version shows to be 3.3.3 LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19 (Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1 I did have an install problem, that actually started with 3.3.2, as posted earlier. But it did eventually get to the Installation Finished dialog box. I wonder if all this other stuff you have on yours is part of the "experimental" portion of the install, as I did not install that. Did you? I would be interested to know if anyone else running Win7 has this issue????? Kind of hard to think this would have something to do with Win7. If I were still using Vista, I might think it had something to do with, but Win7 is so much better - Vista doesn't hold a candle to it. Still very, very strange. Roxy Dear Roxy How Strange. It must be a windows 7 thing (I hesitate to say bug) I have just booted up my Home computer, which runs 3.4.0 (windows XP sp3) I click on paste special and up comes the window with the tick boxes. Both [3.3.3 & 3.4] has 4 sections in the window :- Selection, Options, Operations and Shift cells. Selection & Options have tick boxes, Operations & shift cells are radio buttons. I have just tried your toolbar method pasting as unformatted text - excellent - that's the better way to go I tested (just like me) both methods only work on a untouched cells, if the cells have been formatted previously (bold, font size etc), neither work on my system. regards John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ On 20/06/2011 22:38, Roxy Robinson wrote: > John, > I use Windows7-64.
