<p class="Paragraph"><help:key-word value="sheet areas; filling" tag="kw66941_4" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>The shortcut keys <text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/><help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="MAC">Option</help:case><help:default>Alt</help:default></help:switch>+Enter are used in spreadsheets to fill selected ranges with the content of the cell currently active. Select a range in the spreadsheet, enter a value or formula and conclude it by using these shortcut keys. The entire range selected will be filled. If you also hold down the Shift key at the same time, the cell format of the input cell will be applied to the whole of the range.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:key-word value="matrix area; filling" tag="kw66941_3" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>If, after you have created a range and entered a value or a formula, you press Shift+<help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="MAC">Command</help:case><help:default>Ctrl</help:default></help:switch>+Enter, you will create a matrix area in which all the cells contain the same information as the entry. The components of a matrix area cannot be modified.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">The <help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="MAC">Command</help:case><help:default>Ctrl</help:default></help:switch> key is used when selecting individual cells with the mouse to enable multiple areas to be defined. The cells selected with your mouse as you hold down the control key will combine to give a multiple area.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">If you want to simultaneously edit or print several tables of the document currently active, select them together by holding down the <help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="MAC">Command</help:case><help:default>Ctrl</help:default></help:switch> key and clicking the table tab at the lower edge of the document. Light-colored table tabs show the selected tables, gray table tabs denote tables not selected. There is also a command in the context menu for selecting all of the tables. If you click the table tab of the current table while holding down the Shift key, only this table will be selected.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Use the shortcut keys <help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="MAC">Command</help:case><help:default>Ctrl</help:default></help:switch>+Enter to directly insert a manual line break in a cell (not in the input box at the top of the window). You can, independent of this, activate the check box <span class="T1">Line break</span> located under <span class="T1">Format - Cell - Alignment</span>, which automatically breaks the text flow at the right column margin.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Use the Del key to call the <help:link Id="66806" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">Delete Contents</help:link> dialog, where you choose which contents of the cell you want to delete. Use the backspace key (above the <text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/>Enter key) to delete the cell contents without a dialog.</p>
