          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 75609
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Enhance documentation of "moving;cells by drag and
                    drop" entry
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: tansta...@libertytrek.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Documentation
           Product: LibreOffice

The Help text for "moving;cells by drag and drop" is incomplete and not really
clear, so much so that I failed to understand the full functionality of this
really cool feature for many many years.

I strongly recommend that it be updated in the following manner:

1. Change the Help Title text to something like:

Old: "moving;cells by drag and drop"

New: "moving;cells, rows and columns by drag and drop"

2. Change the Help content in the following manner:

Old: "When you drag-and-drop a selection of cells on a Calc sheet, the cells
normally overwrite the existing cells in the area where you drop. This is the
normal overwrite mode.
When you hold down the Alt key while releasing the mouse button, you enter the
insert mode."

New: "When you drag-and-drop a selection of cells, row(s) or column(s) on a
Calc sheet, the cells (including the ones in selected rows or columns) normally
overwrite the existing cells in the area where you drop. This is the normal
overwrite mode.
Note that to drag-and-drop entire row(s) or column(s), you must select  the
row(s) or column(s) you want to move (or copy) first, then when you are ready
to perform the drag-and-drop, click somewhere in the selected cells, *not* on
the row or column headers.
When you hold down the Alt key while releasing the mouse button, you enter the
insert mode."
