Hello,

I'm just getting to grips with the spreadsheet, but there is one quirk I can't seem to sort out. Help, please!

I want to edit an existing spreadheet. It was built in Excel and imported to Open Office. In Excel (and any other spreadsheet I have ever used) selecting a cell displays the cell's contents on the input line, which aids editting. For some reason with Open Office when I select a cell the input line remains blank. I can use the input line to over-write what is already there, but I can't see what is already there to edit it. Meanwhile the cell contents remains displayed normally in the cell itself.

No doubt there is a "hide" switch somewhere, but I can't find it! So, please, what do I have to do to get a cell's existing contents to display in the input line?

Seems that the cell has hidden formulas.

Just unprotect the sheet (Tools -> Protect -> Sheet). You can change the cell protection here (Format -> Cell -> Protect -> Hide Formula), if you want to protect the sheet again.


Best regards
Daniel
