------- Additional comments from dtar...@openoffice.org Wed Nov 25 12:34:02 +0000 2009 ------- i.e. when one wants to create a series like a1 a2 a3 ... , the only way to do it is to write the first two values, select the cells and drag them down or to go to Edit->Fill->Series... and select the (default) AutoFill series type there. To create a series entirely by using the dialog is only possible for numeric series. The attached patch extends the dialog and the autoincrement logic to handle strings too, in (hopefully) the same way as it handles numbers. So it's possible, for example, to create a series a1 a2 ... a7 a8 by Edit->Fill->Series..., selecting type Linear and setting Start value to a1, End value to a8 and increment to 1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
