Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17279
Copying from normal cell to merged cell removes merge
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:55:29 UTC
To reproduce: Mark any number of adjacent cells and Format > Merge > Define to merge them. Put anything into another cell. Ctrl-C (copy) that cell. Paste into the merged cells. Result: Merger of cells is removed and the text or numbers are now in one of the merged cells. Expected results: Paste would simply enter it into the merged cells as if the merged cells were one cell.
Sorry to add this late, but if you will "Paste Special" and exclude everything except exactly what you are copying, it seems to leave the merged cells alone (I tested with numbers and formulas).
Hi Robert, I declare this as a double of 11402 nevertheless it's not the same but closely related to it. Frank *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 11402 ***
