Hi All,

In spreadsheet Whenever i copy a long sentence&  paste it in one cell
instead of having every thing in one cell itself the sentence is split&
pasted in number of rows. I want everything to remain in one cell. Also i

I can't reproduce that. However, I see that pasting multiple
/paragraphs/ from a Writer document will make entries into several rows
in the spreadsheet, one per paragraph. I can't find a way round that,
even 'paste special| unformatted text' doesn't help. It doesn't seem to
depend on the source of the text either (I tried pasting from gedit, as
I'm using ubuntu)

Using OOo 3.2.0 on Windows Vista...

Press F2 to start editing the cell content, then paste into the cell. Or click in the formula bar and paste there. Either works for me, and each paragraph then starts a new line but still in the same cell.

You can also press Ctrl+Enter while editing a cell to insert a new line within the cell.


want the complete sentence to be in several rows within that cell(not at the
bottom of the cell in one complete sentence). will someone help?
  Thank you for reading,

The appearance depends on a number of things - you might like to check
the action of Wrap Text Automatically under Format|Cells|Alignment, as
well as the row height setting (and column width, come to that).

Depending on your needs, you may also want to select Top for Vertical alignment, also under Format|Cells|Alignment. I think the default is bottom vertical alignment.

Mark.
