Want to paste ASCII, not "formatted"
If I paste text *directly* into a cell, Excel formats the text to look like the original. If I paste the text into the formula bar, the text in the cell is ASCII. Is there a way to paste *directly* into the cell, but not have Excel "auto-format"? Thanks for any help you can provide. -- KHashmi316 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KHashmi316's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=10439 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504298 |

Hi
Instead of workbooks module, save the code in Personal Macro Workbook (Personal.xls) module. When you don't have Personal.xls jet, then easier way to create it at right place is to record a macro to it (ToolsMacroRecord New Macro, select 'Store macro in' = 'Personal Macro Workbook' and press OK. Stop recordig.) Now press Alt+F11, in VBA Project window activate the module of Personal.xls, delete the lately created dummy macro, and copy the UDF code into this module. From now on, this UDF is avaiable for all workbooks opened in this computer. -- Arvi Laanemets ( My real mail address: arvi.laanemets<attarkon.ee ) "KHashmi316" wrote in message ...

Hi KHashmi316, (a real name is preferred in Excel newsgroups)
I don't see how the first answer Paste Special was not considered globally available. Anyway a macro was provided with suggestions of where to put it. But I think there is a better more general purpose answer that you could use across all Windows applications (on a PC anyway). You can install Pure Text then you will have a button on your system task bar. Copy text from anywhere, use the PureText (PT) button and the data in the clipboard is text retaining LF (line feed). PureText,2.0, Steve P.Miller, paste copied text as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/ download: PureText 2.0 for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 [13k] Since you are posting to newsgroups, you should learn to use newsgroups as newsgroups rather than using a web site that messes up web page searching. I would certainly discourage the use of posting to newsgroups via Forums. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/xlnews.htm#forums --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm |
