Excel doing strange things
Hello
I am wondering if you can help me at. i have users that are sometimes copying information from other packages such as word and outlook into an excel spread sheet as well as excel spreadsheets to excel spreadsheets. as we are a college we use excel to put name into spreadsheets and the problem we are having is when you copy the data from the original source and paste it into Excel, it changes some of the data so for instance if you have 2 cells one being the first name and the second cell being the last name. for instance Jo Bloggs it will change it randomly to either Stephanie Bloggs or Jo Rivers for instance has anyone had this problem or come across it and if so do you have a solution thank you Duncan |
