Hello Camille, When you know how to do something, it gets easy. When you don't, it's hard... If you're used to Excel, Calc is more difficult. So much is evident... If you need help using OpenOffice.org, you can either put your question here to the users' list, or try to find it yourself in the documentation (see http://support.openoffice.org/ - documentation project and tutorials). There's also wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation I agree that doing a search on the website brings a lot of unpractical information, and filing a bug or enhancement request is rather complicated at first. So try with users guides and this list. I use Calc on Mac and have no problem with Undo (Edit>Undo or Apple-Z). In fact, OOo remembers a whole series of steps, so you can go back and forward as you like (Unless you limited the number of steps in OpenOffice.org>Prefs>OpenOffice.org>Memory>Undo>Number of steps. Maybe we can find out more about your problem if you tell us what machine you use (Intel, G4), Leopard or Tiger, what version of OOo (and I suppose you downloaded from www.openoffice.org - or dit you get a version from http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/ ?) Just let us know! -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.1.1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Leopard and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.1.1 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
