It doesn't sound lame to me: yes, there will obviously be a learning
curve with a new application.
In Excel, if I select and copy a row, then insert copied cells, the
row is duplicated above itself. In Calc, when I copy a row and then
insert cells, row, etc. I just get a blank new row. How can I
replicate that Excel action in Calc?
o Copy the row or rows you wish to duplicate.
o Select the row (or a cell) where you want the material inserted.
o Go to Edit | Paste Special... (or right-click | Paste Special...
or Ctrl+Shift+V).
o In the Paste Special dialogue, under "Shift cells" select Down and click OK.
You can select either a block of cells or entire rows. If you select
multiple rows as the target range, the copied material is duplicated
as necessary to fill it. And you can do similar things with columns
using Right in place of Down.
I trust this helps.
