Default Lose formatting when copying text

Hi,

I got a little problem with Excel. When I try to copy text from one document to another I keep losing the formatting. The worst part is that it loses letters that use special characters.. for example:

"dāviļņa" would end up as "davia"

I uninstalled the Skype-Click-to-Call addon, but that didn't help.

Right now the only way of copying the text with all the formatting is to copy it twice. I mean, sing "Ctrl+C" twice on it.. if I only use it once all the formatting is gone.



Any suggestions? I saw another thread where another solution was to close the internet browser and Excel and reopen it, but I would like a permanent solution instead of a temporary one.

Thanks!

[edit] Please note that I'm not sure which Excel version it is as it's not my PC.. so the one specifies in my profile might be incorrect.

If you could post a workbook containing the affected content (delete any sensitive data), that might help with the diagnosis - as would clarification of the Excel version. You can attach files via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.
