Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When using copy/paste on expressions in OOWriter 3.0, the formulae is only 
copied if it has a function name in it.
Let's say we have an invoice in Writer that reads:

<Qty1> <Price1> <=A1*B1>
<Qty2> <Price2> <>

Now we copy the cell C1 and paste in into C2. The expected result is
<=A2*B2> in cell C2. However, the plain nuber is pasted instead.

If, on the other hand, we had an expression like <=sumA1*B1> in cell C1
and then copy/paste it to cell C2, the cell C2 will read <=sumA2*B2> as
expected. This is a dirty hack that does the job.

This behaviour should be fixed to handle copy/paste of expressions that
do not use functions in the same way as expressions have function names
in them. In other words, copy the expression (formula) and not the
result.
