Re: [libreoffice-users] default type and setting for pasting

John,
I use Windows7-64. In my version of LO (3.3.3), and all previous versions of OO & LO 
I have used thus far I also get a window popup when I select Paste Special (it 
doesn't make any difference how you select it). In my window there is no option to 
"tick" any boxes - there are no boxes next to whatever options are in the window. In 
my window all available options are just listed and you have to select/highlight 
which option you want. Then you hit OK.
But I recently found a much easier and quicker way of accomplishing the same thing. I 
have used the paste button on the toolbar hundreds of times. While I was copying 
address info into a spreadsheet recently I notice the drop down arrow next to the 
Paste Icon on the toolbar. I clicked on the arrow and there are the same options as 
in that popup window. So now when I want to paste anything as "unformatted", I click 
that down arrow, click that option, and its done. Pretty easy and quick as far as I'm 
concerned.

Dear Roxy

I am using  "My Daughter rang for me to pick her up from the station" -
OS. and I did not check it properly

Please allow me 1 mistake per year :-[ .

The sequence of my events are and my interpretation of Lees request is:

1st, to Copy, highlight the text from anywhere or Cell (or cells) with
the mouse (right click, copy) or ctrl+c

My shortened version of this was "from copy"

You then  click on the cell on the spread sheet you want it to go in
(the mouse can go anywhere after that). - which I forgot to mention

Then its:-  ctrl+shift+V, (or paste special)  then ok (you are so right)

on my 3.3.3 the paste special brings up a window with a tick list and as
long as only the text & numbers are ticked, it pastes in the default
format. Sorry I said delete the ticks- maybe I should have said "untick
" all the other ticked boxes

I know nothing about macros. I thought it was some way of programming a
key to type "yours faithfully" at the bottom of letters for slow typists
- obviously not!

So:-

from copy

ctrl + V>> gives formatted

ctrl+shift+v, then ok>>  gives unformatted with only text& numbers ticked


regards

John B
