While we wait for the final determination about being able to upload version 1.3 on Oct. 1, what I found when trying to cut and paste the description information was that I couldn't paste into an empty cell, but, if I manually entered a word or two and then did the paste, it worked. Of course had to delete the couple of words that I entered, but beats entering blocks of text. Also, looks like there is a very narrow column A which doesn't take the text, so you have to be sure you're in the right cell. Please note that I'm working on a Mac and "Excel for the Mac" so there may be differences, already found one for the Activity Code. If this doesn't get fixed, I'll have to do these on a Windows machine. Bill Sponsored Projects UC Santa Cruz On Sep 22, 2009, at 7:32 AM, Key, Diana wrote: > Aggravated is right!
