This article was previously published under Q79551 SYMPTOMS
When a long string of text is copied from Word for Windows and pasted into
a single cell in Microsoft Excel for Windows, the text is truncated and
pasted into the row(s) below. The problem occurs when Word for Windows
pastes the text into the Clipboard. The Clipboard wraps the text, and when
Microsoft Excel pastes the information into a cell, it is truncated.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0,
and 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
