[ MODERATED ] ********************
I have just started to use your spreadsheet programme and have found
difficulty in the following areas;
1. The help page notes are unobtainable in that in the 'find' mode
they
offer the statement that the details requested cannot be found, even from
your own headings list.
2. Also I'm unable to move a cell or range of cells around at will as
per Exel. is this operation not available on OpenOffice.org?
Would appreciate a response

Upgrade to 2.0.2 and check out http://documentation.openoffice.org/ The
faqs have a solution for deprecated versions that are missing help.

Mike: You're able to move ranges of cells around (I'm assuming you're
referring to "drag and drop", please correct me if this isn't what you
mean). With ranges, it's actually easier than with Excel. With Excel,
you needed to carefully click on the very edge of the range, then drag.
With Calc, you can click anywhere within the range, even in the middle,
then drag and drop.
With one cell, it's a little different. What you need to do is:
1. Click on the cell you want to move.
2. Drag to select at least one other cell.
3. Drag BACK so that only the original cell is selected.
Now you can drag and drop that one cell.
Please reply to users@openoffice.org only.
