How can I Cut and Paste Calc's Formulae Data into Thunderbird email
Client?
I am attempting to paste a portion of a AOO 4.1.2 Calc sheet with
Formulae displayed into Thunderbird45.4.0 compose window on WIN10x64
machine. My ISP is Verizon. Seems that I am not able to show the
formulae,which is what I want to discuss, into the email compose window;
only the results of the existing formulae can be pasted.
What am I missing?
Can someone recommend a website for storage of a Print Screen for this
purpose?
Regards,
VinceB.

Two suggestions:
o Paste plain text. If Thunderbird has a facility to paste
unformatted text only, I think that should work. If not, consider
staging the copy via a plain text editor or even via an OpenOffice
text (Writer) document, using Paste Special and "Unformatted text" to
paste there. Values will be separated by tab characters, so you will
need to set tabs to space your columns out appropriately.
o Save the sheet as CSV (as has been suggested).
o Reopen the CSV file in Calc.
o In the Text Import window, select appropriate columns and change
"Column type" from Standard to Text.
o You now have a new spreadsheet with just the appearance of your
original one with formulae viewed.
o Copy and paste from that.
I trust this helps.

TNX Steve. Right now I am not sure I can send anything via Verizon SMTP
server.
Will try to create a portion of the spreadsheet and place it on DropBox
for creation of a link before halftime of football game (being recorded
now). Have not ever done that, yet! (Or, perhaps the whole nine yards.)

VinceB.

Vince,
You can share the spread sheet through Drop Box and put the link in an email.

It might be useful to save the spreadsheet as a CSV file and extract the formulae [formulas?] from it.

You can copy each cells formula
but not multiple cells. I just tried it here
and it only displays the results.

I must look onto obtaining a better understanding of the Paste Special
and the "Unformatted test" features...:-)
