<h3>How can I use cells from different Calc files?</h3>
<p>You can open the source file, select and copy onto the clipboard
(CTRL + C) the desired cells and then in the target file you should
select a target cell and choose <b>Edit &gt; Paste Special</b> from
the Menu Bar and enable the link option in the choice shown in the
dialog box that opens.</p>
<p>A more direct way to do this is to write a formula of the following
kind in the formula bar or in a target cell: <br>
<b>=DDE(soffice; YourFilePath; SourceSheetName.SourceCellName)</b></p>
<p><b> Example:</b> =DDE(soffice;c:\myfile.sxi;MySheet.A1) </p>
