I noticed that if I have multiple instances of Excel, the copy and paste
functions behave differently. Specifically, if I have two instances
running
and I try to copy from one instance to the other, it only copies values
and
not the formulas.

First, is this normal or is just me and my environment? And second, what
other difference are there, if any? Thanks.

Regards

Before spending any more time (yet) figuring this out, please click Tools,
Options, View tab, and find "Windows in taskbar". If it's checked, UNcheck
it. Let me know if that eliminates the "instances", as you're calling them.
