Hello Christoph,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im">
<br>
</div>Could you please give me a hint what Excel version you are referring to?<br>
I had a look at other Excel versions and found them to behave in much<br>
saner way (either completely hiding that functionality in the UI, or<br>
separating the adding/viewing ranges).<br>
<br></blockquote><br>
<div> </div><div>I'm refering to Excel 2007. I think we separated adding and viewing too. For viewing we thought of Insert->Names-Insert and for defining Insert->Names->Define. I know that the insert dialog is not perfect yet, for example in my opinion it misses the information which range is the target of a range name, but these are some improvements for the future.<br>

</div>Sure, sure. I'm just unsure whether the dialog itself is the<br>
solution ... mmh ... and if it can be easily described in a bug.<br>
<br>
However, I'd like to spend the rest of the day with the download section<br>
- I missed to work on that since quite some time. So sorry for omitting<br>
any further thoughts ... but I'll ping you again. Would that be okay?<br></blockquote><div><br>That's perfect. I think Kohei will be back tomorrow and he might have some ideas about this topic too. <br><br>Greetings to Stuttgart.<br>
