Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 55958
no ALT-mouse-block in Writer
Last modified: 2005-10-14 08:18:42 UTC
In MS Word there is a useful ALT key + mouse rectangle selection. For example, with it you can cut the first n characters of a bunch of lines. There is no such selection available in OpenOffice Writer to my knowledge.
Famous request for enhancement. See issue 1596. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 1596 ***
Closing dup.
