Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with two issue I am finding in LO

Hi Tim

Ok, at least I have a comrade with the same observation and non 
function. Yes I am aware of the cell right click, but I suppose force of 
continuous habit on my behalf in using this in the input line, and a 
family raised from school level on MSO, as well as my wife very 
proficient in MSO, all pointed this out to me. So I find it not 
sufficient to leave it out, as I said it works in other versions of 
spreadsheet programs, so why not LO.

Have you tried the Writer issue I have, with pasting multiple images 
into it, try it. Another program non-feature/problem that needs to be fixed.

Thanks for the feedback.
