works as well. I just tried it to refresh my memory, since I rarely use
Excel anymore. However, in Excel, if you try to drag & drop a column,
you
get a warning about replacing the data in the target column. In Calc,
there
is no warning. The moved column's data silently replaces the old
column's
data, leaving a blank column behind.
The drag and drop experience may not be unique to Excel, but the "you
must insert columns before cut & paste" is, in my experience, unique
to OOo Calc.
Perhaps before cut & paste but drag & drop seems to be different. See
Calc's Help under Drag & Drop > Moving Cells. The effect you get depends
on the keys you hold down as you release the mouse button - Ctrl, Alt &
Shift in different combinations.
