But you could still copy and paste via the formula bar, if languages and
other settings like list separators and reference styles are identical.

If you do all your work in one instance of excel, then the copy and paste
will
work the way you want.

If you have two instances open, the one instance of excel just sees it as
a copy
from any other windows program--it doesn't have any idea what application
it
came from.

not the formulas.

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