Hi,

I'm not interesting in joining the mailing list or another membership, got 
plenty already!  So I'm just sending you the details and someone else can post 
it.  You can contact me if you want any more details.

Operating System:  Windows XP SP3 (up to date)
Libre version:  LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402)
Notepad:  Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.111025-1629 : Service Pack 3)

Notepad was set to word wrap and not full screen.  This meant some lines were 
wrapping.

Actions:
Highlight entire contents of Notepad using Ctrl+A.
Copy using Ctrl+C.
Select top left cell on a Calc worksheet, previously used and all previous 
contents deleted.
Paste, using Ctrl+V and accepting defaults on dialog box that comes up.

My data was strangely laid out.  Investigation showed that the data had been 
pasted as though each wrapped line was a new line of data.  (Most lines were 
not wrapped, mainly some around the middle of the file.)  Tabs in Notepad had 
correctly separated data into new columns but wrapped lines had been treated as 
a new line of data and started in column 1 on the following row to that which 
they belonged to.

I tested again and got the same result.
I then turned off word wrap and the data pasted correctly.
I may have tried pasting again into the old sheet at this point - if so, 
results not recalled.
I tried pasting to a new, unused worksheet (two or three times) with wrap 
turned on and each line of data pasted as it should, without wrapping forcing a 
new line.
I tried again to paste into the previously used sheet while wrap was on and the 
data pasted as it should, instead of wrapped forcing a new line.(!)
I have since been unable to replicate the bug.

If I come up with any further useful information, I'll send it and reference 
this email's date and time.



Please don't forward anything I send you unless you are SURE that everyone 
you're forwarding it to, already has my email address.  Use copy and paste 
instead (Ctrl + C and Ctrl + v).  THANKS!!



If this email has been sent to me as well as you, I have used "Blind Carbon 
Copy" (Bcc). This is a way of sending emails to lots of people without any of 
those people being sent anyone else's email address except their own. To use 
Bcc, put your own address in "To" and everyone else in "Bcc." Using Bcc also 
makes it harder for viruses to spread.
