Deleting cell contents
In
Excel, pressing the Delete key instantly deletes the contents
of the cell. In Calc, pressing Delete calls up a dialog box
where you can specify what to delete:
Strings
Numbers
Date
& Time
Formulas
Notes
Formats
Objects
The
items checked by default are: Strings; Numbers; Date & Time;
Formulas; and Notes. Thus, pressing Delete and then Enter
will delete the items checked by default.
You
can bypass the dialog and instantly delete the items checked by
default by pressing the Backspace key rather than the Delete
key.
