Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72214
Improve Copy&Paste of text from textboxes
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:02 UTC
Using OOo2.0.4, WinXP PC. I was playing around to see if some of the functionality of MS OneNote could be duplicated using textboxes in OOoDraw - quickly jotting notes/ ideas down, then re-arranging the textboxes in a more logical order. My idea was then to transfer the text into Writer. RFE: Currently to copy text from a textbox (e.g. from Draw) to paste into Writer, it is necessary to double click and select the text first. To save time, it would be nice if I could just select the textbox (single click) and then copy, allowing me to 'Paste Special'>'Unformatted text' in Writer. Furthermore, it would be useful when selecting multiple text boxes to allow the User to copy&paste all of the selected text from boxes into a Text document. I know this might be a tricky function (e.g. to me it would be logical to order text based on y-position: top-to-bottom, but maybe this is not the general user expectation...). Regards, Andrew
