Today I sent an email that I wish I'd never sent - all because of an
undocumented "feature" in MS Office. I maintain a spreadsheet of personal
items with many tabs which happens to include a personalized calendar in one
of the tabs. I wanted to cut and paste the calendar into the email as a
visual of what I was trying to explain. In Excel I selected about 40 cells
and "copied" it to the clipboard, then went to Outlook and selected "Paste
Special" and selected Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object. Wha-la! My 40
cells appeared in the email just as I intended - looked great - so I sent it.

One of my co-workers came to me after he noticed the huge size of the email
and showed me that what I had just done was sent all of my personal
information - with the entire workbook (every blessed tab) to our entire
business unit.

O.K. Microsoft - what the *#%% is this all about? Since when did paste 40
cells mean paste the entire workbook ???????

Oh, if only the purpose of my existence is to serve as a warning to others
that they would heed..... Sign me - depressed & embarrased (and make me
the poster child for the next Southwest airlines "wanna get away?" ad...)
