Clipboard Paste All

[Guest]

I used to be able to, a couple of weeks ago, copy cells from Excel onto my
clipboard, move to a Word file and select Paste All from the clipboard and
the information would paste into one sentence. Now it pastes them into
seperate paragraphs. WHAT did I turn on/off?

I need it to paste into one sentence.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Whatever Your name Is:

You may have turned off Tools>Options>Edit>Show paste options buttons. It
should then ask you what you want to do.

The other way is Edit>Paste Special... Which enables you to specify pasting
as "Plain text".

The default pasting command brings the data in as formatted HTML which lands
as a table in word.

cheers

Paste All will paste all of the items on the Office Clipboard, one after
another. Exactly how they appear will depend on where they have been copied
from.

So what, exactly, are you copying? A group of cells (or multiple groups of
cells)? Or blocks of text from within cells?
