The only option I hadn't tried was "paste in Libreoffice document". 2 pages were pasted in and then the resulting frame holder was dragged to make it large enough to show all of the text.

Hi, On 01/11/2012 05:37 PM, . wrote: How do you add a text file to a Calc sheet? The objective I'm seeking is to be able to use Writer to create several paragraphs of text and then paste them into Calc. When doing so now, during the paste-in, all the text ends up in 1 cell. One method you could try is to create a *.txt file in Writer. Then import the file into Calc using Insert>>Sheet from File. In the dialog box under Separator Options check Other and clear all the rest of the boxes. This will insert the text with each line being in a separate cell in Column A of the sheet. You must import the text before entering any other data into the sheet. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
