Strange paste selection behavior
I have been copying a single cell to contiguous cells in a column and have always found that after the paste operation, the final active cell will be the top-most, or first, cell of the paste range. For example, if the paste range extends for several screens and, after the paste, I hit the cursor down button, I will go back to the first screen and the active cell will be the second cell of the range. However, I was earlier working in another workbook doing the exact same thing. But the final active cell after the paste would be the last cell of the range. I prefer the second behavior, but can find no reason for it to be happening. Does anyone know where the option is that sets this kind of behavior? -- 1scant ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1scant's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31635 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=518424 |

Strange paste selection behavior
If you want the last cell in the range to be selected, start your selection
in the last cell and drag toward the first cell. The active cell in a selection is always the first cell selected. -- Kevin Backmann "1scant" wrote: I have been copying a single cell to contiguous cells in a column and have always found that after the paste operation, the final active cell will be the top-most, or first, cell of the paste range.
