------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 8 17:45:21 +0000 2008 ------- I used this feature of Excel (before I moved to OOo Calc completely) for re-ordering columns. I really want to see this as a context menu (right-click) option. The drag & drop functionality mentioned by pagalmes, referenced in: http://specs.openoffice.org/calc/ease-of-use/Insertion_of_Cells.odt does the job well. Summary: first just select the row/column or other cell range, then click WITHIN (not on a column header, for example) and drag the selection to where you want it. Press ALT to insert rather than overwrite. When ALT is used for insertion, the source cells are removed (YAY!). When ALT isn't used the source cells remain, and just the contents are moved (acts just like cut/paste). This works great for re-ordering columns or rows. You just select the entire row/column then drag-and-drop to where it should go using ALT. You can also combine this with CTRL to make a copy (if CTRL+ALT is used the source cells remain, of course). However, the exact same functionality would be nice to have as a context menu (right-click) option as requested. I didn't even know about the drag-and-drop until I saw it here. So big thanks to pagalmes for educating me! -Brian D.
