Excel 2003 - copy paste question
Hope I can get an answer here!! Otherwise I'm going to be at work all night.
Here is the problem: I used to be able to click and drag some info (date, amount, qty) from a website and paste it on an Excel file, this would place each (date, amount, qty) into it's own cell. But today (and yesterday) it is putting all the info (date, amount...) into one cell only. I hope that explaination was OK?! My question is: Is there an option I need to look at to revert back to putting all the data into individual cells? Thanks in advance! Ben |

Ben,
Investigate your text to columns settings. This sounds like it might be causing your problems. Select the cells with data pasted from the website, the click Data menu Text to Columns... You will probably want to select "Delimited" the select the correct delimiter on the next sheet. HTH, Conan "Ben" wrote in message ... Hope I can get an answer here!!
