Hello

Could someone help me fix the problem. Let's assume:

1. I copy text from excel
2. Paste it to Notepad (or other programs)

Until here, all are OK.

Next..

1. I copy text from Notepad (different content / text with Excel)
2. Paste it to Excel, but when I do, Excel paste the content from its clipboard NOT from Notepad (or other programs)

To be more clear, look at this video?

Re: Error witj Excel Clipboard? Help!

Sorry for my English.

No I don't save any file.

...
what does this mean...

For example:

I open 3 programs: Ms. Excel, Notepad, Ms. Word. Not all of these files are saved.

Nex...

1. I start typing in Excel. Let's assume, the text I type in Excel Spreadsheet is "ABC".
2. I copy it, paste it to Notepad.
3. It works (I can see text "ABC" in Notepad).

Next...

4. In Notepad, I then delete that "ABC" text and type new text, let's assume I type "DEF".
5. I then copy this "DEF" text
6. And paste it into Excel.

But when I hit CTRL+V in Excel, the result is not "DEF", it still still "ABC" (see number 1).

7. I open Microsoft Word then type CTRL+V, and I can see the text is "DEF". This "DEF" text come from Notepad.
8. I open Microsft Excel then type CTRL+V, and I can see the text is "ABC". This "ABC" text come from its clipboard.

It seems something is not working with Excel clipboard

Also, to open video, you must remove underscore "__" in this text "__http://sendvid.com/0facfyuq" (I don't want to be seen as spammer so I turn off the live link (URL))

Thank you.

UPDATE: IT IS FIXED

________


It seems Excel fixed itsself. I was working with my Excel. Excel was suddenly crashed and it was rebooted. Wonderfully, the issue was automatically fixed.

So the above probelem has been resolved.

Thank you.
