How do you copy text from a cell and paste it to another cell and Keep its
origianl color?
From: trip_to_tokyo on 12 Apr 2010 14:14
EXCEL 2007

1. In cell A1 I have the word smith with a background colour of yellow.

2. Do a Ctrl-C in cell A1 to copy the cell contents.

3. Do a Ctrl-V in cell D8 (for example) and cell contents are copied across
with identical formats.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

Doesn't it paste the formatting for you when you just do a copy|paste?

If no, you may want to explain what you're doing and what happens.

Copy the cell, rather than copying from the formula bar.
