John,
I'm afraid the Edit menu in my Excel doesn't do what you describe. I arrowed
down the options just to see what was in the menu, although you didn't
recommend that, because i like to learn what's there. I didn't se an item
quite like what you mention, so I just tried pressing L as you suggested. I
got a Windows alarm sound warning me that if I went ahead with some sort of
deletion, there might be data that would get deleted. Did I want to proceed?
The menu has a lot of items, but they're not very self-explanatory to me.
That means the same thing as what everyone now means by "intuitive." Just
teasing. I'll press Enter on a couple of items with triple dots indicating
they have submenus. Maybe I'll find something that way.itmes thinbg
explnanatiory itmes,sork

If you want to read this data, try:
1. open the Excel document
2. Press alt+E for edit
3. press L to select the data
4. press control+C to copy the data to your clipboard
5. open NotePad or WordPad
6. press control+V to paste the data
Then read the resulting table data.
