        <description><![CDATA[That looked to be a good solution.  Thanks for your suggestion.Do you have a solution to another minor problem that I experience with Excel?  This one involves copying data from one sheet to another in the same workbook.  When a set of cells are copied from one to another or when a set of cells are deleted, Excel automatically (sometimes) changes the &quot;word wrap&quot; formatting from off to on.  I suppose I could just leave that information out of the sheet altogether, but not really wanting to do that, I have found no way of stopping Excel (2003) from doing it.  It is easily corrected, just a nuisance to have to.  It doesn't happen every time, seems to be random, but probably isn't, something might be triggering the format change. One of the &quot;experts&quot; on this set of websites had no answer either.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[you can achieve this if you copy the whole sheet (along with the chart if on a different sheet) to a new workbook, then select Edit, Links and click the Break Link option on the right and confirmthis will convert all linked references to their values, leaving all other formulae intactyou can even copy just a chart and do this (providing the series don't cover too much data)hope this helps]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What I need is a way to copy a whole sheet, leaving the links to another sheet behind, but leaving the formulas inplace so the graphs copy as well.  Copying and pasting just the data, leaves the graphs out.  I end up using the create a copy of the whole sheet method and passing it along and letting them get the error message that the this sheet contains links, and whether to update or not.  With me holding the original on my PC, the reviewer cannot update, and it is not needed or desired that they do.  It is for reference for the month, next month a newer version with updated information is provided, with the same links.  I realize this is almost a year after most of the comments were posted, however, since it was just reissued, maybe more will be reading and responding.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Go to the source data / cell, copy. Go to the destination cell / data top left corner, right click, paste special, paste link.If you've got lots of links and get in a mess, a quick way to jump from source to destination:Turn off in cell edit (options, edit, edit directly in cell - uncheck). When you double click on a linked (destination) cell, bang, takes you to the source data.It also works on closed workbooks, as long as the link is valid, otherwise it will tell you what the missing link is. This saves having to clear all those arrows that the Auditing tools leave.Not tried on 2007 yet.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I discovered this double-click by accident about 2 years ago. I teach Excel and past this along to my trainees. None of their experienced co-workers knew about this short cut. Checked all my text books. Could not find this shortcut. I wonder how many of your experieced readers knew about it? Also is there any text book which describes this short cut?vsacco1745@aol.com]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-314231-3129463]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[To use the crtl-D trick you first need to select the whole range to be filled (similarly if you were to use ctrl-enter, or copy and paste)Double-clicking the fill handle will fill down from the current cell until the adjacent cell is blank - so no need to find a cell 100's or more rows away but NB that your adjacent column can't have any gaps in its data for this to workIt's also worth noting that if you select several cells vertically this will fill as a series (the other methods won't). Selecting several cells horizontally will fill all those columns downwards until an adjacent gap is foundDragging the fill handle will also fill a range (vertically or horizontally) but will have different effects if you use different mouse buttons or hold the ctrl or shift keys; shift will insert cells, ctrl will toggle series filling, right mouse will offer a menu when releasedIt's worth getting familiar with and it'll impress colleagues if nothing else]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Control+Enter just completes the formula entry and leaves the selection in the current cell.  Just pressing Enter alone will move focus to another cell, determined by the &quot;Move selection after Enter / Direction&quot; option in Tools &gt; Options &gt; Edit tab.Since you must ultimately resort to the mouse to accomplish this fill process, you could as well hit Enter, probably jump to the next cell, then have to reposition to the desired cell to use the double-click fill option.]]></description>
