I don't understand your request. You want to keep the format OR paste unformatted AND/OR link the data? Link -> Paste special: DDE Link/OLE object Format -> Paste special: RTF, HTML, OLE object Non format -> Paste special: Unformatted text. Please explain. I want to paste link AND choose format. Repro: 1. Start Calc, type some text in any cell, apply some formatting. 2. Click Edit-Copy. 3. Start Writer, click Edit-Paste Special, select DDE Link, OK - you get unformatted text in table. There are cases when I do want formatting to be included and in majority of cases I do not want table. Well after a short discussion with the DEV, I think we won't ever implement this (balance effort/gain). Such a clipboard format would mean that every cell would be transformed in to a text field. For now, a DDE field can only handle a range of cells0 and not every cell independently. And even if.... Selecting a row in Calc would give you Field1Field2Field3Field4 (without separator) in Writer. Selecting a column in Calc would ALSO give you Field1Field2Filed3Field4 (without separator) in Writer. Or maybe there should be a paragraph mark between the fields in this case... Nonetheless, reassigning... Who knows... Éric, do you think that single-cell DDE link can be made special case and be pasted as text and not table? Well (currently) pasted not. But a dirty workaround is to: - copy/paste as DDE - Ctrl+F2 -> Variables TabPages (you should see the DDE link you have copied) - Click "Insert" -> You get the link to the cell value as text field. |
