how do I paste formulas in excel clipboard?

[Guest]

I am trying to paste various formulas in excel clipboard, but what it's
copying to the clipboard is only the content of the cells. How do I get to
paste formulas only?

goto tools, options, click on "formulas"

now you should have no problem

Hi Andy,
If you mean copy to the clipboard and paste to a cell
you would copy from the formula bar not from the cell

If you want to do the same with a macro:

Chip Pearson has a web page on using the clipboard
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/clipboar.htm

If you want to use the context menu (rightclick menu) to copy then paste
the same formula unchanged to another cell see
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/rightclick.htm

Select the entire formula in the formula bar.
Right click, and choose "Copy".
Hit <Enter> *OR* <Esc>

I just found out that having skype's "click to call" add-in on your browser affects the clipboard.
