In my professional life, I'm limited to use Microsoft Office. In Excel there is an option ows to render the result of a formula to be pasted as a "fixed value".

For instance A1 = "I", B1 = "ride", C1 = "a" and D1 = "bike"
In E1, I can place a formula to concatinateconcatenate the values of A1 thruthrough D1 to display the sentence "I ride a bike", but if I should copy and paste that cell, I would just get the formula again, both if I write the formula with relative positioning, and if the values in A1:D1 change.
To solve this problem, Excel has "Paste Special > Value", which copies the current value of the cell to the target cell.

At home, I use LibreOffce.
Although I have tried to find a functionality,feature identical to "Paste Special > Value" in both LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org, I couldn't find it.
Does anyone have a wayknow how to do this?

What is in LibreOffice Calc the equivalent to Excel's "Paste Special > Value"?
