Hi Bettina, one4you
RFE for 2.0 allow deleting from merged ranges
Summary: Allow deleting from merged ranges. Hello Niklas, please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.
This is not on the list of features that we're going to do for 2.0. We need to focus on the enhancements from the PCD document.
In addition to this issue, it will be nice if user can do both deleting and adding column or row to merged cells as well. Since this operation is used quite a lot for editing reports. Steps of adding column to merged cells: 1. Merged cells A1:D1 2. Select Column B 3. Go to Insert -> Column 4. Get "Inserting into merged ranges not possible"
Forgot to tell, I tested the issue using: OS : PC Version : Dev 3.0.0Beta
