originally.

Two things to look at:

(1) macOS System Preferences for Language & Region. What is the language?
(2) OpenOffice Preferences - Language Settings - Languages. What is the default 
language for documents?

I think that you should run a virus scan of your system.

Also which version of MacOSX or macOS are you using?

Just place the cursor in row 1 of the column and it works.

Hi Dave,

Here’s the link as best I am able to determine from my download queue:

https://phoenixnap.dl.sourceforge.net/project/openofficeorg.mirror/4.1.5/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg
 


This would have been on or about the end of April. Hope that helps. Thanks for 
the follow-up.

Hi -

Do you recall exactly which version? Full file name of the installation file 
along with its size.

In any spreadsheet application, there is a limit to the number of 
columns (and rows) that you can use. The limits are so large that you 
don't usually have to have any recognition of them. But when you 
insert a column (or row), an existing column (or row) has to be 
knocked of the side or bottom of the sheet. This is fine if that 
column (or row) is empty - as will normally be the case - but not if 
it contains a value or formula. If you cannot insert a column, there 
must be something in the extreme right hand of the available columns; 
that's *available* columns, of course - not just those you can see.


So why is there something in that column? Unless your active data is 
unusually extensive, it is probable that you have used a technique to 
fill at least one row indefinitely, perhaps using Edit | Fill > | 
Series... or by selecting an entire row before pasting some content, 
which will have put content into all the possible cells of that row. 
The reason that you can insert new rows is simply because you have 
not filled any column indefinitely in the same way.


There are various solutions:
o When filling the row or rows, avoid doing so indefinitely.
o Move to the right of the spreadsheet area that you are actually 
meaning to use, and delete an unnecessary column or columns. This 
will move the rogue material at the extreme right of the relevant row 
in by a column or columns, leaving empty cells. You will now be able 
to insert a column, dropping a new, empty column off at the right.


I trust this helps.

Unable to Insert a Column

[Vince@GMAIL]

AOO415m1(Build:9789)  -  Rev. 1817496
2017-12-11 17:25

Desktop Win10-64



Working with an existing Calc spreadsheet, I copied it in its entirety 
to a new sheet. I now find that I am unable to insert a column anywhere 
on the new targeted sheet. When I attempt to insert a column in the 
targeted new sheet, I am shown the following error, which I have not 
ever seen before.


/*Filled cells cannot be shifted beyond the sheet.*/


I am able to insert a new row.

Would like to find out what is causing this problem.  TNX.
