Why are the Copy and Paste preferences in Excel not as good as Wor
At last MS have given the humble user the ability to set a default option on
the paste command in Word 2007, hurray. You can set this in Word OptionsAdvancedCut, Copy and Paste section. No more cross document formatting and styles to worry about. So why can't we have the same feature in Excel? The same section is Excel lacks the options available in Word. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Copy | Paste Special choose [Values] doesn't fulfill your need? Copies value
only, not formatting or formula. "Dan Nichols" wrote: At last MS have given the humble user the ability to set a default option on the paste command in Word 2007, hurray.

Paste special is fine if you want to choose it every time you paste
something, this has been available since I started using office. The new feature in word lets you choose the default action when you CTRL-V, so you don't have to keep choosing paste special from the menu to simply paste text (or values) without formatting. The new options in word make pasting (paste-special) lots of times far quicker and less labourious. "JLatham" wrote: Copy | Paste Special choose [Values] doesn't fulfill your need?

I couldn't agree more!
Excel should allow the option to Paste Special without updating the references and keeping the exact same formulas as the in the original (without having to turn the original into absolute ones). This is useful when replicating tables that use slightly different information sources but in which the bulk of the references are the same as in the original table.
