I am an OO newbie so bear with me.
I am on an iMac using 10.9.4 and I have never used OO before. I downloaded
4.1.0. I am trying to migrate an MS Excel spreadsheet to Calc. It will be nice
to get away from MS.
Anyway, I have noticed two problems right off the bat - maybe they are known
already and I simply need to be vectored to the appropriate Apache site. But in
the even that they are not known already ....
1.) I seem unable to cut-and-paste "large" amounts from my current MS Excel
file into OO Calc. I can do a small set of cells. When I do a 'select all' in
Excel and try to paste into Calc, however, nothing happens.
Work around: Open the Excel spreadsheet from within Calc. That is OK but not
particularly satisfying when I later have to paste more in from some other
source. But it is OK for now.
2.) I use a so-called Apple Magic Mouse. Excel often is jittery when I
accidentally slide a finger across the top of the mouse - columns zoom by but
it is recoverable, though irritating. However, Calc does not seem to be able to
recover so easily. It can get confused quickly (by a minor though quick finger
swipe across the mouse - speed of swipe seems to be the issue) and head off
into columns unknown. I try scrolling back with the mouse (sliding a finger
across the top of the mouse like a track pad) but it does not seem to be able
to get back to Column 'A'. It just seems lost (three-letter columns will come
down to two-letter columns but then go back to three-letter and so forth, sort
of drifting even though I am making a determined effort to scroll back to the
origin).
Work around: Use the Calc scroll bar at the bottom of the Calc spreadsheet.
Again, that is OK but not very satisfying. I was also able to "recover" by
reloading (from the Calc menu) but that would probably not be a good solution
for this apparent column tracking problem if it occurs before I have had a
chance to save my work - I have not tried that though.
Has anyone seen this before? Am I retracing old issues?
