Hello Maggie,
I don't know any keyboard shortcuts to do what you want (maybe someone else
does), but I do know how you can slow your cursor down IF you are using a
Windows OS.
If that is the case, open the Control Panel and select "Mouse." There you
will see various controls. Select "Pointer Options" and there you will see a
slide bar that controls the speed of the cursor as you move the mouse. You
can use that to set the best speed for your arthritis (just as I have).
Regards,
Buck Castleberry

Subject: Does this functionality exist in Open Office for the Mac?
I need a keyboard shortcut that will set up the keyboard cursor to
mark text to copy beginning in the far left cell so that I can use the
keyboard cursor to define which cells to the right are to be copied.
Because I have arthritis in my hands I don’t use the trackpad, and if
I move the mouse to the right selecting cells it leaps too fast to
control. The only solution I have found so far is to cursor to the far
right cell I want and then mark the text (going left) with the mouse
because the left edge of the spreadsheet stops the cursor. This is
awkward and time-consuming.
The OSX (and OO) keyboard shortcut “Command C” only marks one cell (or
pre-selected text) to copy. The functionality I need was available in
Lotus 123. The lack of it in Open Office is the only reason I have
not moved my larger spreadsheets to OO.
I would like the same kind of command for the keyboard cursor to mark
cells for "Command Delete" but that is less critical.
Thanks for any help, Maggie
