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.
That works for cells, but I can't make it work for columns/rows.
Agreed. With whole columns/rows you seem to need cut (or copy) & paste
and, in this case, you must insert the new column/row before pasting.
Dragging a column just adds/removes columns to/from the selection.
