there is a feature of Excel that i use all the time and its apparent
lack in officeCalc limits my use of this otherwise great program.
Excel allows me to drag selected cells (1, or a block, or rows, or
columns) from one location to another. I just select the cell(s) and
then position the cursor over any border of the selected cell(s). At
that point the cursor becomes a multi-pointed icon (like a compass).
If I left-click and hold down, I can drag the cell(s) and the contents
to another spot. this is a hugely helpful feature that I cannot find
supported in OfficeCalc. I've tried Help and tutorials and my own
best guesses to no avail.
Can anyone there tell me how to drag cells and their contents?
thank you,
Ken
You're correct, the "Help" is not helpful on this topic. Please see the
migration guide:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0600MG-MigrationGuide.pdf
on page 87, where it describes how drag and drop works in Calc.
There is definitely a non-obvious "trick" to dragging a single cell,
which is explained in the reference above. However, dragging a range is
not particularly tricky, in fact it's easier than it is in Excel, so I'm
a bit surprised that you've had trouble doing that. Again, the above
reference should clarify things. If not, please get back to this list.
