Created attachment 191703 [details] sample file Every time I merge cells I have to choose the first option. add a default option to Merge Cells for one of the three choices. Thanks, Tracey
There's a few ways this could be envisaged (not necessarily exclusive to each other): - remember last setting (per session or in profile) - "set as default" option in the dialog - option in Options > Calc - only expert configuration to change it app-wide - giving access to new Uno commands so they can be added to toolbars or menus by user I'll let the UX/design team decide what is best here. See also bug 147837, in which a change of default / an indicator of hidden cells is discussed.
(We've got the 3 options since LO 5.3)
KISS: remember the last option (per session) Code pointer: sc/source/ui/miscdlgs/mergecellsdialog.cxx just add a static variable to initialize one of the three radio boxes
