Hi, this issue is regarding dragging and dropping a cell with its contents to another location in the spreadsheet. the issue seems to have been raised and closed in 2005 but i don't know why i still face the same problem. I can d&d a combination of cells i.e. if i select two or more cells and drag them then it can be dragged. but it seems that a single cell can not be dragged using the left click. i am very new to OOo and i am still forced to use excel at work thus my excel habits brought this to my notice and i though i should share it. regards Sajan
Hi, Did you try this: 1) select the cell with left mousebutton 2) pull the selection, in a way that you make the selected area bigger. now, you have the selected area coloured black 3) change the selection again with your left mousebutton until you have only one cell selected... and coloured black. 4) now you can drag and drop your cell... succes
... or just click on the cell to select it and than click on it again with the CTRL key pressed. After that d&d the cell there ever you want. Also a double to Issue 10865 and some others. BTW not a defect. Frank *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 10865 ***
