Stop the 'intelligent' copying?
Could someone remind me how to stop (or temporarily override) this
annoying feature in Excel 2000 please? I simply want to be able to copy text containing numbers, like a telephone number, down to the following row by dragging it. I don't want '0845 600 8885' to become '846 600 8885'. Or 'Call 0845 600 8885' to become 'Call 0845 600 8886'! -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

Hi Terry,
When you drag, hold down Ctrl before you let go of the left mouse button. HTH Martin "Terry Pinnell" wrote in message ...
