An unwanted but added note when pasting
Hi,
Can say nothing about copy/pasting from web, as for facebook link - this site uses Facebook Pixel Code (we are all tracked in the web, this site is not an exception)
<!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
<script>
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;
n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,
document,'script','https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');

<!-- End Facebook Pixel Code -->Edge and IE copy paste the part of that code into the Excel if you paste as HTML, no such issue with Opera and Vivaldi. Have no other browsers.
Above is only to say that code has nothing common with your personal activities on facebook, you may have no account on it at all.
Sorry to say, that is pretty much typical of Microsoft. If it makes no sense whatsoever, it will be connected to Microsoft. It did not use to be that way and in fact, the first some versions of windows and excel were very good. But the continueing search for the "new & improved versions" have apparently left the folks at microsoft scratching their heads until someone yells out, "I have it" and whether or not it makes any sense, they move on. Today's version of Excel is cumbersome and does many things that should not be done in that when you begin doing something in Excel, Microsoft takes over, jumps in, thinks they know what you are going to do and does it for you. There is but one problem: it is not usually what I want to do and from what I hear, it is not what most others want to do. Further, I am completely convinced that instead of coming off the last version of Excel and adding to it, Microsoft is writing a new version to be released and they take out so much that is useful. Maybe that is done for the benefit of develpers and I have nothing against develpers but if that is what Microsoft wants to do, then there should be separate versions of Excel for users and for developers so I guess we would end up with Excel U and Excel D. I am beginning to look at other available spreadsheets as I do love the spreadsheet application and so much can be done in rather than just spreadsheet apps. Further, in my humble opinion, Word is so messed up, I seldom use it any longer instead prefering to do it in Excel.
Oh well, one can only hope and dream of what "could" be instead of what we get. It is also, to me at least, obvious that Microsoft does not read these things or they would see what people think but then of course, perhaps they do not want that information, right?
