Possibly not.
I can no longer click on a cell and simply drag the contents to a new cell. [...] Please can someone tell me the correct procedure?
You will know that you can do this very easily for a range of more than one cell, but the technique does not lend itself to a single cell. Note that if you select multiple cells, the range ends up highlighted and it is this highlighted range that is moved or copied by drag and drop. The problem is that if you click on a single cell, you move focus to that cell but do not highlight it. You need to find a way to highlight a single cell and your problem will be solved. Here are some techniques:
o Click the cell to move focus to it. Shift+click the cell to highlight it. Drag and drop.
o Click the cell to move focus to it. Ctrl+click the cell to highlight it. Drag and drop.
o Click the cell to move focus to it. Drag the mouse to a neighbouring cell until both are highlighted. Without releasing the mouse, drag back to the original, single cell - leaving it alone highlighted. Release the mouse. Drag and drop.
This last technique sounds complicated but is probably the easiest to use. I trust this helps.
