Hey thanks man! No problem! I really appreciate your help! But I think the issue has run its course, for at least 3 reasons: 1) It's not a big problem for me; it's only a curiosity, that I don't have to solve; and 2) I'm headed for Palm Springs, CA, for two weeks vacation! It's 19 deg here in SC right now, so this is something I'm really looking forward to! And I don't intend to take Excel issues along with me! and 3) I just tried what the next message suggested, and presto! I "copy/paste special-ed" and it works!
Thx again.
