How do I prevent formatting being lost when I copy one worksheet on to another?

RE: Excel - Paste Special

Dear Rod

Thank you for attending the Excel Intermediate and I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

If you are trying to copy data from one sheet to another and you just want the data to be copied and not the formatting so that the data being copied can use the formatting of the destination cells then please follow these steps:

Copy the cells from the source sheet
Click on the cell you want the data to be pasted in the destination sheet.
Right click on the sheet
Choose Paste Special

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
