Linking Issues
I create a new spreadsheet each month and copy and paste the formatting from
a previous spreadsheet. Yesterday I had a security warning that the spreadsheet was linked to another spreadsheet and the linked spreadsheet couldnt be found. When I copy and paste I create links between spreadsheets because I choose Paste, Link. But the real problem is that once I reformat the spreadsheet it wont save the formatting changes. I've tried saving the spreadsheet to a new name but every time I try to reformat I lose the changes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

Hard to get a picture of what you mean. The term "spreadsheet" is too generic First, let's set some ground rules...........what do you consider as a "spreadsheet"? A worksheet within a workbook? An entire workbook? Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 27 Sep 2008 07:54:01 -0700, Kathy wrote: I create a new spreadsheet each month and copy and paste the formatting from a previous spreadsheet.

When I say "spreadsheet", I'm referring to a worksheet within a workbook file
with a .xlsx filename. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Kathy Hard to get a picture of what you mean.

Pasting a link from one sheet to another will bring only values, not
formatting if that's what you want. Changing formatting on the source will not change formatting on the destination. It is a 2-step operation. Copy and paste link then paste specialformats.
