Another nice feature that Excel has that Calc doesn't have with cut and
paste is this - in Excel you can copy (or cut) a cell (or range of
cells) and then move to the destination cell (or top left in the range)
and simply press enter instead of control-v (paste).
And when you want to paste it again, you have to copy / select again in
Excel. That's not so handy.
I also have to do things very differently when copying data from a
spreadsheet and then pasting into a table in a document. In Excel / Word
it pasted very nicely but in Calc / Writer it is complicated and ugly.
I am getting used to it.
I think you need Ctrl-Shft-V > Paste as RTF ?
I could go on about the things I am missing like the much more limited
range of keys available to assign shortcuts to and the inability to
assign buttons to many menu items (presumably macros could be written
but that is beyond my capabilities) and the inability to use page number
in a calculation in a footer.
The ease of use stuff that MS have put into their products almost tempts
me to go back but I don't think I will. I am hopeful that many of these
things will sort out with time.
Some will, some won't soon probably. Best to do is to learn the things
that are fine or better in OOo, than to concentrate on the things you
miss.. OTOH, you already ask, so that's a good approach to learn quick.
Keep on asking :-)
Best,
Cor
