I'm wondering if the format that the item your cutting is in, is triggering something in transition to (I think you said) excel when you paste it.
two maybe's here: 1. you can look at your control panel, (and wherever regional settings are)and see if there might be a layout that would make a difference, mine is all in American English and I haven't run into this on win 7, I think I did a long time back in win ME and there were two factors one being this, how my numeric's were set to display and item 2 below. 2. you might try setting the numeric data value of the column your pasting into to dollars (or pounds sterling in your case I think) so that it knows that even if it looks funky its money not distances or formula's. control key and space bar then apps key and f for format cells, (alternative is control key and the 1 on the numbers row) and then select a category, sometimes just locking it as text in here can make things work better. and yes, I did see where you said it was mis copying it in jaws, this is why I put the regional settings notes first, smile. really do hope this helps, inthane -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Chris Hill Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2013 7:22 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] distance is 2 case 1 That's the trouble, most of my cut/paste seems to involve financial stuff, so I can't be dure.
