I am not an expert either, however, I believe if u have done some work to the
spreadsheet already, u should try to save the worksheet first and then copy
over the cells.

Am not an Excel expert - Using Excel 2000, have a spreadsheet to which we are
continually adding rows of information - Current entries are 10,304 and using
columns A-Q. Today, when we tried to insert blank rows to add information
(as always in the past) we received the following popup message:
"To prevent possible loss of data, Microsoft Excel cannot shift nonblank
cells off the worksheet.
Try to delete or clear the cells to the right and below your data. Then
select cell A1, and save your workbook to reset the last cell used."
Why are we suddenly receiving this message. We do not want to lose data.
