Hi there, copying data from one Excel spreadsheet into another using
Excel 2003. Although the 'receiving' spreadsheet has been formatted as
General, the data autoformats as quot;Numberquot;. Is there any way to turn
this off and have the 'receiving' spreadsheet retain its General
properties? (In my case the numbers have leading zeroes that
disappear).

Thanks.quot;Hammerquot; gt; wrote in message oups.com...

Paste Special/ Values?
