------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 3 07:49:49 -0800 2007 ------- mmp: Sorry, I should have been more verbose ;-) What is my concern with this issue is Excel's 'Insert Cut Cells' functionality. In Excel, if you choose 'Cut', nothing is removed until you choose 'Paste' or 'Insert Cut Cells'. 'Insert Cut Cells' is very handy when you want to take part of the table and move it to another location. OOo as it is now has no way to move part of the table simply at the moment. You have to: - Select the rows - 'Cut' - 'Delete Rows' - 'Insert Rows' on the final position (you have to remember how many rows) - 'Paste' Excel allows you: - Select the rows - 'Cut' - 'Insert Cut Cells' on the final position This patch improves the situation by remembering the content of the cells when you do 'Delete rows' - this way you can shrink the scenario to: - Select the rows - 'Delete Rows' (it remembers the content) - 'Insert Rows' on the final position (you have to remember how many rows) - 'Paste' Of course the ideal solution would be to change the current 'Delete rows' to 'Cut rows' (it would copy the content to the clipboard and delete the rows), and add a new 'Insert rows & Paste' that would insert exactly the right number of rows to paste the content. This way the OOo scenario would shrink to - Select the rows - 'Cut Rows' (it remembers the content) - 'Insert Rows & Paste' on the final position (inserts the right number of rows) The question is what to do when eg. rows 3,4,7,9 are selected. In my patch it issues a warning that the content was not copied to the clipboard. [NB. I'm talking about rows, but similarly it works for columns ;-) ] Would it be OK this way, please? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
