[libreoffice-users] [3.4.4/Windows] How to move cell with mouse?

2012-01-11 Thread Gilles
Hello,

I want to move cell A1 to A2 with the mouse:

I select A1, then press Alt, and move the cell with the mouse: Nothing
happens

I select A1, then press Ctrl, and move the cell with the mouse: A2 is also
selected and nothing happens

Also tried Shift, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Ctrl, etc.: Doesn't work

How can I drag and drop a cell with the mouse?

As a temporary solution, I just Cut (Ctrl+X) and Paste (Ctrl+V).

I read this, but I can't figure it out.
http://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Moving_Cells_by_Drag-and-Drop

Thank you.

This is easy enough.  You just select the cell, and then
click-and-drag it - you don't need to press any keys on the keyboard.
The trick is to actually *select* the cell.

Try this:
To move A1:A2 to B3:B4, simply select A1:A2 and click-and-drag A1:A2 to B3:B4.

To move A1 to A2 (which was your original question), click on A1
(don't release the mouse button yet).  Then drag the mouse down (or to
the side) to select more than one cell (still don't release the mouse
button).  Then drag the mouse back to A1 (while still holding the
mouse button).  When the mouse is over A1, you can release the mouse
button again.  Now A1 is actually *selected*.  You can now drag A1 to
A2 (or wherever you wanted it).

In the examples above, you could also use the keyboard to select the
cell.  To do this, hold down shift, press down, press up and release
shift.  Now you can drag the cell to wherever you want.

Regards
Stephan

 I'm not sure you can move just one cell. Two or more cells can be
moved by clicking on the first cell and then selecting the rest to the
cells. Then this group of cells can be moved in the various ways that
Help describes.
 If there is an empty cell adjacent to the cell you want to move,
then you can move these two cells together. But that obviously has some
draw backs.

1. Move cell pointer to desired cell
2. Press Ctrl
3. Click on desired cell (note: Click, not Click and hold)
4. Release Ctrl
5. Click and hold to drag highlighted cell to new destination

I think this method is better than the one I described.  Thanks for
pointing it out.  Just make sure not to skip step 1.

For the sake of completeness, let me add that you could also use the
Shift key instead of the Ctrl key.  So then it would look like this:
1. Click on the cell you want to move
2. Shift+click on the same cell (hold shift, click on the cell, release shift)
3. Click and drag the cell to where you want it
