Default 255 truncation




If I copy the source of a particular web page and then paste it in to Excel -
the copy-paste does not work - data is truncated
..

eg paste link in to IE

https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/searc...07&source=ripe
select all and copy - and paste into spreadsheet A1 (as text) - the data is
truncated.

Paste it in to Word as text - and all data is pasted.

I am aware of the ODBC 255 problem and the changing of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engi nes\Excel


It seems to have no effect.


(I am pretty sure that I did do this in the past with the same web page and it
worked in Excel OK)
