Clicking on the center of the cell is supposed to enter Edit mode. In any case the "clickable" area is defined by the programmers (in Excel it's around 5 pixels wide, which is plenty) so even if you have a very thin border, you have a larger area to click on. A small correction to my previous post: this "enhancement" is NOT on the "LibreOffice 3.4 most annoying bugs" :( It should be though ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/3-4-4-Windows-How-to-move-cell-with-mouse-tp3650473p3651488.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.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

This is a know limitation since the OpenOffice days. The good news is that an *enhancement request* is already on the Bugzilla tracker https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38994 and it has been assigned to Kohei Yoshida (Calc's guru) and included in the "LibreOffice 3.4 most annoying bugs" https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35673 So, it's not fixed yet but it will be soon(ish) ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/3-4-4-Windows-How-to-move-cell-with-mouse-tp3650473p3651220.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.4.4/Windows] How to move cell with mouse?
Hi :) Sadly you have to "do the LibreOffice shuffle" as one person put it. You can't move single cells on their own but can move blocks of at least 2 cells. It's a bit weird but soon you hardly even notice yourself working around the issue.

This thread (from 2007!) explains how to move a single cell http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=886 It clumsy, counter-intuitive, but it works.

[libreoffice-users] Re: [3.4.4/Windows] How to move cell with mouse?
Thanks, but it doesn't work. When I select A1, unclick (ie. remove my finger from the left button on the mouse) then move the mouse to A2, it simply selects A1 and A2, it doesn't move A1 to A2. I also tried keeping the left button clicked while I moved to A2, but it also selects the two cells instead of moving A1 to A2. Is there a video that shows how to perform such a simple task?
