I have a spread sheet with some complex formatting, and I do a lot of drag-and-drop of individual cells.
How do I drag-and-drop without disturbing my original formatting? I need to d-a-d text only, or text and formulas only.
Copy → Paste special… allows you to choose what you paste: values, text, formulas, formatting, etc
It can’t be done drag-and-drop.
Hi @SusanCragin, Were you responding to @mikebibo’s Answer? I think you should have enough karma now to comment on Answers 
Sounds like you have a couple of different use cases:
I need to d-a-d text only, or text and formulas only.
How were you hoping to be able to drag-n-drop in the couple of different ways? Were you thinking about holding down an option/modifier key while you dragged a particular cell, or?
