Copy/Paste

When copying & pasting a row of data from one spreadsheet to another, how do I ensure that the format of the cells remains exactly the same (size of writing & size of cells)?

RE: Copy/Paste

Hello Elise,

After you copy a range, use the paste Special option, by right clicking where the copied data should go, select Paste Special. There should be options to paste the column width/formatting. Try some of these options to see which gives the best. In Later versions, 2007 and 2010 there is a direct option for pasting all formatting.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.

RE: Copy/Paste

Sorry Mark, I'm still stuck.

I have tried selecting a variety of options from the Paste Special selection & none are working.

I have tried "Columns", "Formats", both together too (which doesn't actually paste anything across?)

Please help!

RE: Copy/Paste

Hello Elise,

If you copy a range, move to new sheet and do a regular paste (control+V), this pastes the data and format, you will see a smart tag appear beside the pasted range. Click this and select the option to Keep Column Widths.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
