Weakness in the Drag Function of Excel 2007 (Beta)
Dear Sir,
All these years I have been using Corel Quattro Pro Spreadsheet in the office. However, I have an opportunity to work intensively with the Excel 2004 in the lately. During the course of my work, I detected a weakness in the drag function of the Excel 2003 spreadsheet. I would like to highlight it to you and making a suggestion for improvement. The drag function of Excel 2003 as well as Excel 2007 (Beta 1) have this weakness. A block of the cells to be moved must be pointed towards the very border of its outline in order for the + sign to appear before dragging can start. Too many occasion, I find it very difficult to get the + sign as the mouse arrow has a very narrow area around the highlighted block to get it (+ sign) and drag. Unlike in the Corel Quattro Pro, the + sign area is significantly larger. This enabling the block to be drag around the worksheet with minimal effort. It is more difficult to loose the + sign during the dragging action. In order to overcome this problem, I would like to suggest that an area equivalent to a row height of 8 to 9 around the inner border of the highlighted block be set as the dragging area. This new feature would improve the efficiency of working with Excel Worksheets. I hope my suggestion helps.
