Anyone out there in the POI community that can help me with this? I don't 
understand the limitations of copy and paste or what can be done about it.

Please help.

Subject: Issue with copy paste value in spreadsheet

Hello POI Users,

I was wondering if anyone else came across a similar issue and whether there 
was a resolution for it?

I have a spreadsheet which has a drop down in a cell. If I select a a value 
from the drop down and extract the text in POI with 
cell.getRichStringCellValue().getString() I get the text without any issues. 
However, if a copy and paste a value into that same cell, the value is returned 
is empty. Any ideas??
I'm using POI 3.2 with Java 1.4.2.

Regards,
Kunal.
