[mso] Re: Pasting from outlook contacts list to excel - what is possibly different between tow systems running office 2003?

Make sure that you are only selecting the destination cell with a single 
click or with the keyboard arrows.

If you paste into a cell that has been opened for editing, then the paste 
will all go into that cell.

Regards, Dave S

PS "paste" has an "e" on the end of it.
