Edit Paste Issue
I am new to this forum, and have this weird problem starting today. I open a spreadsheet with 2 datacells in a column and then 3 formukas based on the data cells or the prior formula below the data cells. the formulas are very simple and work fine. I then want to copy these cells (5 cells in a column) to the neighboring column. I select the five cells, press CTRL-C (or click EDIT - COPY) then select the next column top row, precc CTRL-V (or click EDIT - PASTE). The five cells appear to be copied but the formula cells contain values not formulas. If I try to copy them by (click EDIT - PASTE SPECIAL) it brings up a menu I have not seen prior to today with PASTE AS UNICODE TEXT or TEXT as options, not the window with ALL/FORMULAS/VALUES/FORMATS, etc that I am used to. If I selct and copy only a single cell, and do Paste special, then the normal window pops up. What happened?? Did i change something inadvertantly? can I change it back??? Any help would be appreciated. -- pwlyons ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pwlyons's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25053 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=385766 |

Whenever any program is acting "funny", closing down and then opening back
up will normally fix the strange behavior. Sometimes a reboot will fix odd things. -- Damon Longworth Don't miss out on the 2005 Excel User Conference Sept 16th and 17th Stockyards Hotel - Ft.
