G. Roddick and Joe. Version of OO is unknown, I'm sure there is a way to tell but I looked at help for 20 minutes without getting anywhere. I am running Windows XP Home. I just specify the upper left cell of where the copy is to go to. Hope that helps some. Just tried it again today and it worked fine so there is something strange going on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Conner To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [users] Copy/Paste
Instead of selecting an area to paste, did you try to simply just click on the cell that is to become the top left cell of the pasted area? I am thinking that if you had not exactly marked the paste area with the same number of rows and columns it may have confused Calc as to exactly what you were asking it to do for you. Incidentally, I do not have this problem with OOo2.0.3 on WinXP. If this is not the problem, then apologies for taking up your time and bandwidth.

I select copy. Then go to another area (in same sheet) and select area with left click. Then when I do the right click the little menu still says cut or copy (paste is not an option). Doesn't do this all the time and I have no idea what causes it or what to do to get rid of it. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
