I think that this is the standard behaviour, but maybe there is a setting in
Tools -> Options

what happens is that, when i already have, say a spreadsheet open and then activate another one, the file name appears in a small bar which flashes a couple of times in the startbar at the bottom edge of the screen and only expands to a full window if i click on that small bar.  the same applies to a test/word document.  i couldn't find anything in tools >> options.

You can change the key board shortcuts with Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard

yes, i had a look at customizing the keyboard but i could find no "fill down" or "fill up" function etc. to which i could apply a shortcut key.

This may be an issue with you not using styles correctly. Please have a look
at http://documentation.openoffice.org for a very good document on styles.

i had a look at the link and downloaded a number of .pdf user guides but i've not had a chance to read them yet.  when i do, i might find the answers to all three of the above points.  hope so.

i have no real problem with ms word or excel etc. but wanted to move away from microsoft.  i like openoffice and am glad i made the move.  my next step is to attempt to move from windows to linux at some point in the near future.
many thanks for your suggestions ....
