Can't you just click the Fill Color icon immediately before you copy
the cell?

Nope Bob. That will not serve my purpose. Coz I would still need to continue
clicking on that icon. I am copying the data one by one. As in i copy Cell
A1, paste it into the system. Come back to the excel, Copy Cell A2, paste it
into the system.
So each time i do this, i would need to keep using the format paint brush..
I was just wondering if we have a short cut to color a cell. As in, i do
Ctrl "x" (for coloring, then i do Ctrl "C" and then paste this data.

How about the format painter icon, the one that looks like a paintbrush?

Is there any shortcut key (like Ctl C for copy) that we can use for
Coloring
a cell.

I actually need to copy certain data from an excel sheet to another
system.
Since this is a fairly large data, it becomes difficult for me to remember
the last copied data. Is there any thing I could do to color the cells
that
have been copied?
THis way, I will kno that all the cells colored in a particular color are
the ones that have been copied already.- Hide quoted text -
