------- Additional comments from arlenl...@openoffice.org Mon Apr 19 19:12:53 +0000 2010 ------- In early versions of Excel, there was no edit directly in cell capability. After Excel added edit directly in cell and turned it on by default, [Tools->Options->Edit->"Edit directly in cell"] hardly anyone experiences the great benefit of not editing directly in cell. (In early versions of Excel, there was no edit directly in cell capability.) Turning off direct edit means a double click on a cell which is a link immediately takes me to the linked cell, no matter what sheet the linked cell is on. This lets me immediately navigate from a subtotal cell on my Summary sheet to the exact cell from which the data came. Further, linking a cell (a date) in each data sheet back to the date on the Summary sheet means I can very quickly go back and forth to view and evaluate my data (a stock portfolio Summary sheet and supporting individual stock data sheets) by merely double clicking linked subtotals on the Summary sheet and a linked date on various data sheets. I've been checking Calc since a late version 1, have not moved to Calc because of not being able to quickly navigate, and am finally writing. Navigating sheets by double clicking is wonderfully Fast and Direct. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
