This article was previously published under Q176155 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, if you copy text in a text box and paste the text in a
cell in a worksheet, the pasted text may contain extra blank cells.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the copied text contains any carriage returns, for
example
ABC<RETURN>
DEF<RETURN>
GHI
where <RETURN> represents a carriage return.
When you paste the text, it appears in the worksheet as follows
ABC
<blank cell>
DEF
<blank cell>
GHI
where <blank cell> is an empty cell.
WORKAROUND
If this problem occurs, manually delete the blank cells, or move the pasted
cells together so that no blank cells are between them.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
