I have been asked for help by a friend who is using a MacBook Pro and
Apache OpenOffice Calc.
It is a problem I have not encountered when using Calc on my various
versions of Windows and versions of OpenOffice so I do not know if it

As a regular user of Calc in Apache OpenOffice I have added two extra items
to my tool bar (another learning curve to do this). I have added 'Fill

Fill Series will bring up the Fill Series window which allows a lot of
alternatives for what is being done in the column or ro

I would be interested to hear if any other users have had this same problem
and
if it happens only to some users who have upgraded to 4.1.8 and if so how
the problrm
was solved.
Thank you.
