Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel pasteing all cell features
After pasting all, repeat the paste special individually for FROMAT and CELL WIDTH etc. - Original Message - From: Annette Carr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 7:58 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Excel pasteing all cell features I am trying to copy and paste information from one work sheet to another.

One of the pieces of information provided is the height and width of the cell in points, e.g., cell dimentions are 54 points wide by 12 points heigh. The number of characters you can fit in 54 points depends on the font you have selected. All cells in a column must be the same width.

For a typical portrait layout with 3/4-in. margins, you have a total width of 432 points to work with. For a landscape layout with the same margins, you have a total of 684 points to work with. Hope this clears things up for you. One final note, in earlier versions of JAWS, you only need to press insert-f once to hear the cell's attributes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel pasteing all cell features
Annette, Remember, one thing that will not be adjusted when copying and pasting data from one worksheet to another is the column width. All other attributes, such as alignment, number formatting, font, etc. should transfer okay. This is actually the default, so you really don't need to use the paste special function. You can simply use control-v. The only way to get the column width to transfer is to select the entire column using the control-space bar function, copy it and paste it. This will copy the entire column, including all of its formatting. Remember, though, that you must be focused on the top row of the spreadsheet you are pasting to before pressing control-v. Otherwise you will get an error message.

Thank you very much for that info. I can now stop knocking my head against this brick wall of a computer. I'll have to re-think what I had planned to do. Again, Thanks!

Hi, Try using link worksheets and see how it works. Select your desired cells to copy, go to the worksheet where you want to copy, activate Edit menu and press S, then L to paste link. - Original Message - From: Annette Carr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 12:58 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Excel pasteing all cell features I am trying to copy and paste information from one work sheet to another.
