How to drag cell contents to another cell
I have not found out how to drag cell contents from one cell to another. At present I am highlighting the cell, then cut the contents,then move to the new location and paste.
How can I drag the contents?
Please advise.
Hans

you should position your mouse pointer over the cell, press the left
button, move the mouse outside it as if you wanted to highlight more than
one cell, then return the pointer to the initial cell, and finally release
the button. this procedure having been followed, the cell will be
draggable just like a range of cells highlited in a usual way.

I also found how to drag a range of cells using your proposal. Thank you,
