Doug;
Since you seem to have a lot of answers, could you tell me how to stop
receiving all these forwarded messages? I have unsubscribed over a dozen
times. I still get all these messages.
I would rather not change my E-Mail address, but if I must then that is what
I will do.

I have just read a response to a moderated question about drag

effectively cut & paste. Is there a drag & drop equivalent to
copy & paste?

At the bottom right of the selection, there appears a small, black
square. Drag and drop this square to the bottom right of the area
you want to fill. Normally, the cell(s) to be filled will have
outline highlighting which makes it easy to see what you're doing.
Doug
Thanks for taking the time to answer Doug, but I am not looking for
fill across or down.
For example if cell A1 = 123 how does a user copy A1 to K30 using
drag & drop?
Dave
Would it be easier to enter K30 in the upper left corner of the
speadsheet? This highlights cell K30. Enter 123, and you have it. If you
drag & drop, you could make a mistake in where you drop the data. But by
specifying the cell, such mistakes are much less likely to happen.
Dan
Absolutely agree with your statement, but that's not the issue. I don't
particularly like or use d&d, but I do have a number of customers who I
have converted (or am in the process of converting) to OOo. Most of them
do like and do use (have used) the drag & drop copy functionality of
Excel. What I am trying to establish here, is whether or not Calc has
this same (similar) functionality.
Dave
Sorry about providing a non-responsive reply. That's because I have always
used ctrl-c/ctrl-x and ctrl-v. I find it to be faster and less error prone
than drag&drop. No finger slips off the mouse button, no data dumped in
the wrong location(s). And, if I want to move rather than copy the
original cell, my left index finger has to move over only one key. Oh, and
I'll win a race every time when the destination cell can't be viewed in the
window at the same time as the original.
