Copying autoshapes - XL2K
If I draw a rectangle (or AFAICS any other two-dimensional autoshape), copy
it, move to another cell and paste, the copy appears at the active cell. If I do the same with a line, the copy appears as far away from the active cell as the line I copied was from A1. (1) Why? (2) Is there any way I can get the line to appear at the active cell? At the moment I am getting round the problem by using Ctrl+drag to place copies. That's not so bad on a regular keyboard but it's a pain on my laptop. -- Noel |

I don't get that effect in xl2003.
You may want to post your version so that others can verify/help.

Oops. I see you put the version in the subject. (I didn't see it there.)
