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

It is not suficient. If I copy the input line and past to the input line 
of a new cell the cell references stay the same. Not so if I copy a cell.
CMD-C works on the mac. On linux highlighting the line copies it to 
clipboard and middle click pastes it.
