Paste using enter key no longer available
Hi I've used Excel for years and always used the Enter key for pasting data Recently the enter key stopped performing the paste funtion on a couple of machines, just drops one line instead, so you have to use ctrl + V to paste, which i don't want ... (call me stuck in a rut or just too old to change!) Please note paste still works with all teh other methods, like Ctrl+V, right click and the edit menu etc, it's just the enter key that's stopped working for paste... On several other machines I can paste data using the enter key (all running office365 latest versions), so the feature has not been removed, it's just affecting 1 or 2 machines, so not a one off either! This morning on one machine which WAS still working for pasting with enter key, after quiting and restart excel 9not the PC, no updates or anything) it's stopped working, so now none of my own machines work! Enough is enough, I need a fix please! 2 of my machines the enter key stopped pasting a GOOD while ago, all have been running office365 (so excel 2016) for about 18-24months, all from the same family office account, all updated regularly, so currently on version 1711 build 8730.2122. one is Windows 7, rest are all Windows10 x64 I have checked the options and advanced features, but nothing there. I having searched google, found little relevant except a post, which suggested a "full repair online re-install" but this has not fixed the issue. Microsoft linked helpdesk (using the help chat option inside excel) got me nowhere, except a sore head :-( I don't have any clipboard managers enabled on all the machines in question, might have on one of them, and do use a KVM screen sharing tool called Multiplicity on them all, but this has not been updated recently, and did not affect the machine that continued to work using enter (until it stopped earlier today!), so can't see that being a factor? The feature was inbuilt into Excel, it was not an external macro or some VBA, although would consider using a fix using these if that was the only solution (if anyone has some code to share), but I'd much rather fix the issue via correct configuration, or registry key or whatever! Anyone able to help revert the enter key to provide paste capability? Thanks in advance Richard
I paste a copied value and then want to insert cells, Excel will paste the insert into inserted cell
Ok, so I thought I was pretty good at Excel until I had this issue. I copy a cell and then paste. Then went to add a row. Well, I was surprised when the pasted value ending up in the whole row. I am using Office 365 and have searched for a solution, didn't find one. Went to Support and conntected with help who wanted me to repair online my version as Safe mode wouldn't work. Since it is not my office I had our company IT do this (repair was what they did). However, this was not the fix. It fixed the ability to open Excel in Safe mode, but not my clearing clipboard issue. So am stuck. I know on non-365 you could copy paste and then paste more if you chose to and then when you didn't want the clipboard you hit Delete and good to go, insert cells or rows with no dire consequences. Please help! Is there a way to clear the clipboard (outside of leaving the clipboard open and manually clearing it (which is ineffective and terrible for productivity)?
HELP: cell copied is deselected when clicking on formula bar.
MY PROBLEM The behaviour of excel seems different today, I can’t copy and paste a value directly on the formula bar any longer. When I copy a cell, it appears the usual dashed line to highlight that the cell is copied. As soon I click the Formula Bar, when any cell is selected, the dashed line disappears, and by clicking ctrl+V no value is pasted on the formula bar. I’m using Office 365, desktop version. HOW I TRIED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE I have just tried to restart the computer; I don’t know what else to try. WHAT I USED TO DO AND WHY When I need to copy a value (not formulas) from cell X to cell Y, I used to copy the cell X and paste the value directly on the formula bar of cell Y. I know that I could use Paste Special to paste only values, but the behaviour is different, and I prefer to copy directly on formula bar. For example, if in cell X the value is 1,000000005, and the cell is formatted to show only 2 decimals, I have two different value in cell Y if I paste to formula bar and or use Paste Special; if I copy and paste the value in cell Y with paste special, the value of cell Y is 1,000000005, and I need to format the cell to show only 2 decimals; on the contrary if I copy and paste on formula bar of cell Y, the pasted value is exactly 1,00, regardless of how I format cell Y. Sometimes I need the original value, sometimes I need the value already rounded; that’s why I don’t want to use paste special, but I would like to paste on formula bar. Moreover, by copying values on formula bar, instead of using paste special I also save a few clicks.SS40: save files, rename, add tags, send to terminal, etc. faster for datahoarders and not
Suggestion (SS): 40 Classification: DATAHOARDING On Vivaldi i see different people posting other suggestions related to hoarding, so i decided to post here my other suggestions too (part 1 https://link.ws/edgess11), even if i know not all users will use it. I know that such suggestions can be reached (or at least in some parts) via scripts, extensions, terminal or macapps and are not the main focus of browsers. Said that, if you are interested read the post, otherwise skip it. I give you simply ideas, and such ideas are really hoarding focused. I know that this is maybe not legal for all websites too. those are just ideas. First we start with a feature that i never discovered before and after trying it i discovered in opera for mac we need to use option. i tried on edge and is not supported 2) i already talked about overlay button with both integration to mac or to onedrive as destination, or save to different folders in right menu, or drag drop download, or other https://link.ws/edgedatahoarder. another option would be to add a download button below each video and photo, no matter where. 3) about a smart select feature i already reported you before. Implemented on datahoarding activities means select 20 links and download all pdf at the same time (or other files). 4) a feature to detect images, document, movies, pdf in the site and download all that at once, or download only pdf for example. About images, would be better to download the full image, and not small pictures. 5) maybe add both option save to mac and open pdf in tab and maybe using a different destination, so download to /user/blabla/pdf and maybe sorted by source website. in such way we can directly read the paper too, and if needed we can copy that to other clouds directly once you implement the suggestion of importing in onedrive or you can directly integrate an option save to onedrive and to mac at the same time. 6) a way to copy a single link to a list and then copy the whole url in this list (this doesn't mean to use edge collections). once we are done we could use such lists to download files via other web apps, or mac app or terminal 7) a way to submit url to terminal directly, by adding specific terms (example https://www.pair.com/support/kb/paircloud-downloading-files-with-wget/). so we can manually add terms for wget, youtubedl, etc.. once we visit a page, we click right click or on the menu bar and select send to terminal and then we select wget or ytdl, or other. 😎integration of 7 for 6) 9) if i select 10 tabs an option to copy urls and maybe add support for 7) or 4) 10) a way to save such things to favorite without need to use bookmarks. in such way we know exactly where we get such files if someone ask us where we get that. the problem is that files show such metadata, but a lot of times is missing. 11) about 10) the feature of yesterday https://link.ws/edgevvss1 can help too. 12) a way to autorename all downloaded files, example if i use macuser A edge profile B i want on all my files a name like " xxx - macA edgeB" 13) renaming can be used for other goals too, like add the title of the post to the pdf, the url, or other information. 14) smart macos auto tags: we configure specific rules "like from website xx add tag xx" and add tag macA and edgeB too (related to 12.) 15) optionally add comments, but tags are much more useful. 16) like 5) an option to download files by source urls in specific folders. 17) torrent support like coccoc (i already reported that as comment in another post) 18) integrated vpn (same here) I copy the wish of another user here tooA kind of curious toggle button added to Share, copy, and paste in Edge
there is a new description saying: Using the "Link" format by default when copying links within a web page will load the destination page in the background to obtain the destination page's title. Loading the destination page in the background will have the effect of visiting the page to the server. However, the visit to the page will not appear in your browsing history. which is good, explains how the feature works. Edge Version 89.0.736.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) but I don't see the reason for a toggle button. it says "Use the format selected above by default when copying links within web pages" and you can already select the "default" by clicking/tapping on one of the two squares, so what's the point of a toggle button? an extra confirmation? turning it off and on has the same behavior for me. in my opinion it's a little useless.
Text highlighting
Hello, I've noticed an issue using MS Edge regarding the highlighting (or selection?) of text for copying & pasting - using either the mouse or shift+cursor keys - in particular that the browser has a real problem allowing 'reverse' highlighting - i.e. placing the cursor at the end of a portion of text and then trying to highlight the characters/words prior to it. 'Forward' highlighting works much better, but this is a problem I've not seen in IE, Firefox or even Chrome to the best of my knowledge. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks, Jonathan
Copying table into docx makes page numbering go haywire
Hello, So, context: I'm working on a doctoral thesis. I have a table, which was originally created in LaTeX, which I originally copied into my thesis as an image. The thesis office wasn't happy with it being an image, they wanted it as a text-form Word table. Long story short, through great and valiant effort, my advisor and I got it converted to a text-form Word table. Basically the last thing I have to do to get my thesis cleared is get this damned table pasted into my thesis. But when I attempted to do so, behold - it completely screwed up the page numbering of my entire thesis. It changed everything so that the following page became page 1, and the preceding pages no longer had page numbers. The table itself was a standalone file in the other docx - and I tried explicitly turning off all headers, footers, and page numbers in that file, to no avail when re-pasting. I accosted an agent on Microsoft support chat, who resolved the issue, and I should have just stopped him right there, but he kept messing with my document and messed up his own fix. He ultimately gave up and sent me here. I was really hoping to include file attachments to demonstrate the issue but this interface doesn't appear to allow it. If anyone could offer me a workaround for that, I would appreciate that as well. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer. Cheers, Matthew LocknerANDROID - Word no longer opening a bubble to copy, cut and paste.
ANDROID PHONE - Word no longer opening a bubble to copy, cut and paste. It started about a week ago. I spent a couple of hours with Microsoft tech support, they could not make it any better . My copy, cut and paste works in every other application, program and browser. There is only a problem with MS word. We tried everything that MS Tech could think of trying. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas? Thanks, Craig
