I tried that, but it seems impossible to work with. Everything I try fails,
(after I copy/ paste) ie. I inserted another row, then attempted to re. number rows- got an error msg. "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized". Other things gave different error msgs. ie "cannot change part of a merged cell" "Bernard Liengme" wrote in message ...

My table was a very simple one: all cells were the same size.
Try a simple table and let us know what happens best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Happy" wrote in message ...

Make sure that you're not trying to copy into, or across, any XL cells that
have been merged! -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Happy" wrote in message ...
