Hello, Lol ! I just worked from Netscape and even though I can solve the problem from Netscape, I just realize most people work with Internet Explorer 5 or 6. So, the clipboard has a quite different behaviour in Netscape from where I get a precise string which is a concatenation of five different cells in Excel !!! Then I went back to IE and there it was : the datas went directly into their own columns at once, without difficulty... But then, I have the formating problem, which I dont have from Netscape. Real funny, isn't it ? I go back to work 'the tail between the legs' as we say in France, standing for 'pitifully'......
