I've had an occasional problem with Excel 2000, but now I'm also
having it with Excel 2003.

Occasionally when I copy text from a web page, the text won't wrap. In
fact, when I've had the column set to wrap, after copying my text, the
wrapping has been turned off. But now, even when I turn it back on,
the test *may*, or may *not*, actually wrap.

I've copied my webpage text into notepad first, then copied it from
notepad to Excel. Still doesn't wrap.

I've copied another cell that *IS* wrapping, pasted it to the cell
that is NOT wrapping, and it behaves correctly by wrapping. As soon
as I paste in my text, the wrapping goes away, even though wrapping
has been, and is still..."checked".

Does *anyone* have *any* idea what's going on? Other than some damned
"Poltergeist" I mean.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi Tom,

After you've pasted your item into the cell, you should see a little
icon just to the lower right of it that looks like a paste button.
It's called paste options and if you click on the arrow, you will see a
choice to "match destination formatting".

Hopefully this will convert your copied item into the same format as
the cell.

Best of luck with this!
