As you are not subscribed to the mailing list you have missed the
answer from Andrew Pitonyak.
His suggestion was that it could be that you Record Changes.
You could switch it of under Edit --> Changes ... Record.

Dear Mr Groenescheji
Thank you for your fantastically fast reply. Unfortunately none of
the replies in the forum were applicable, however I have worked out
how to do it. The only thing I have not found out is the significance
of the RED outline to the cell after I have manipulated entry. Could
you tell me what it means.
Regards
David Bath

Dear Open Office
Sorry to be contacting you on this, but I seem to be making little headway with
what appears to be just what I need but is way above my head.
I imported a .wdb file which was put into Calc in cell "A" on 92 rows. I needed
to Edit 4 records which I discovered how to do but it left the boxes highlighted in red.
I do not know what this means and have been unable to remove it.
I want to sort the complete file but found that the "Sort" selection was greyed out. To
me this indicated that some thing else needed to be done first. I tried "Select All" and
many other functions but have yet no luck.
I have consulted the "Tutorials" but there I cannot find any reference to my
problems, in desperation I hope you could point me in right direction.
If it is possible that you could assist I would be most grateful.
Regards
David Bath
