Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I move a formula without changing it?

You might have the answer in your own question, even I am not quite 
ready in my thinking about this.

If you move the formula (e.g. via the sequence ctrl+X and ctrl+V at the 
new position, well you can do it via the edit menu instead)  the 
references do not change, the formula still points at the same cells as 
in the first position. It is when you copy the formula the references 
change, as they are relative. However to really get them absolute, you 
have to anchor them with the "$" sign.
