------- Additional comments from t...@openoffice.org Sun Oct 4 19:44:22 +0000 2009 ------- In MergA.ods, click on (triple) cell A1, copy it (^c), paste it (^v) to A3: get cannot_do_it_msg 'cell merge not possible if cells already merged!' To do the copy, one has to 'unmerge' the cells A3 and C3 (by 'merging' them), then do the copy; Calc should do that, instead of popping the cannot_do_it_msg. Calc also refuses to merge A3 and C3. One has to unmerge them, then highlight A3..D3, click Merge, and answer the_question: 'Should the contents...?'. Again, Calc should do that --including the_question, which should have (beside the Yes/No choice) a Cancel option, in case the user did not foresee the implications of his/her request. In conclusion, the solution to this whole issue seems simple: Calc should do automatically all the necessary 'unmerge', then do the requested operation. (If that gives an unexpected or unwanted result, the user can undo it.) Since all the required steps are already programmed, it should be fairly easy (through a few procedure calls) to substitute them for the cannot_do_it_msg. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
