Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51203
can't paste special/format paint multiple cells
Last modified: 2005-07-08 11:25:05 UTC
So I have a spreadsheet. A number of cells (say, A1, b1,b2,b3 and d1 contains cells in date format. I change the format of A1. I want to put this onto the other cells. Select A1 and CUT Select B1 Ctrl-select B3 and D1 Paste Special (Formats) ... err no, can't do that - greyed out Format painter? Nope - only does a single cell at a time.. "Insert into multiple selections not allowed" Any advice, or can we fix Paste Special? (written against SO8m106)
Since this is a working feature in Excel, it's not a bug, just a missing feature. Can please somebody change this to RFE ? Volker
