Copy/Move/Insert without cut and paste


How to do Copy/Move/Insert without Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V?

  • Select the range of cells to be copied, or moved, or inserted. 
  • Place the cursor on the heavy outline of this selected range, and the cursor changes into a 4-way arrow. 
  • Press and hold the left mouse button as you move the cursor to the location where you want to place the selected range. A gray outline around shows you the area to which the selected cells will be moved. 
  • Holding the Shift-key will move (i.e. cut and insert) the selected range without over-writing any cells in the paste location. 
  • Holding the Ctrl-key will create a copy of the selected range, leaving the original in place. 
  • Holding both Shift-key and Ctrl-key will insert a copy. 
This works on cells, rows, and columns (and sheets?) 
Try it... I think you'll like it.

Some funny JScripts


(1) Copy and paste the java script code to the address bar of your browser and Press Enter. Watch your window's "shaking it" !!!

javascript:a=0;x=0;y=0;setInterval("a+=.01;x=Math.cos(a*3)*200;
y=Math.sin(a*2)*2;moveBy(x,y)",2);void(0)



(2) Float the Body of your webpage.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("body");DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);


(3) Start Editing any web Page... and have some Fun !!!

javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void(0)
