Thanks so very much for looking at this. I agree with Oliver that ALL versions
of Excel and Calc responded as he described. The problem is these new versions
of Open Office, as he confirms in his last comments, no longer behave as
before.

I'm not a developer or coder but have used SuperCalc / Excel / Calc for years
and they all used the same logic for the selection of a range: lock on the
start cell then select an end cell based on the movement of the cursor. This
allowed efficient movement to the end of a row (data headers) with a simple end
right then  to the bottom of the data with end down. In the new OpenOffice
versions the selection focus is stuck in the start cell so one can start the
selection in, say, cell A!, move out to the end column with end right, but end
down stops in the first empty cell in column A, ignoring what happens in the
last column.

I hope this explains the situation. Please ask me again if I can be of help.

Thanks again!
Don
