copy vanishes
I copy something from a workbook. Then I close that, open another
workbook and try and paste but the stuff I copied has vanished. It's gone completely. I can't even paste it to word or anything. What happened? Vista Home Premium with office 2003 John |

copy vanishes
This is an Excel behavior: the clipboard hold the copied stuff only while
the ants are running around the selection. The clipboard is emptied if you do anything before pasting; that includes closing the source file. If you have the right Excel version, try using Office Clipboard rather than Windows Clipboard. In XL2003 find Office Clipboard in Edit menu. I did a copy, closeed the source file and pasted to a second Excel file from Office Clipboard I cannot experiment with Word2003 since I use Word2007 and it would take hours (I exaggerate! but not much) to open the other version best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "John" wrote in message ...

I found M8 free clipboard that works well. Why was excel designed this
way? Is there a purpose in clearing the clipboard right away?
