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

Dear Roxy

How Strange. It must be a windows 7 thing (I hesitate to say bug)

I have just booted up my Home computer, which runs 3.4.0 (windows XP sp3)

I click on paste special and up comes the window with the tick boxes.

Both [3.3.3 & 3.4] has 4 sections in the window :- Selection, Options, 
Operations and Shift cells. Selection & Options have tick boxes, 
Operations & shift cells are radio buttons.

I have just tried your toolbar method pasting as unformatted text - 
excellent - that's the better way to go

I tested (just like me) both methods only work on a untouched cells, if 
the cells have been formatted previously (bold, font size etc), neither 
work on my system.

regards

John
