MS Office Forum / Excel / Setup / December 2004Silly little annoyance
Greetings all, Silly little thing that bugs me. I'd like to turn off the prompt I receive whenever I exit Excel (2003). If I have previously used the Windows Clipboard to copy ANYTHING, be it the contents of one cell or a whole spreadsheet, Excel just has to ask me whether or not I want to keep a "large" amount of data in the Clipboard for use with other applications. YES YES YES, just stop asking me every time I exit Excel! Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays! Larry If you hit the Escape key before you close excel, do you get the warning. > Greetings all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Larry  SignatureDave Peterson Dave, yes that stops the annoying warning dialog, but I DO want the contents to remain in the Clipboard, I just want Excel to stop worrying and completely ignore what is or isn't in the Clipboard when I exit. Thanks, > If you hit the Escape key before you close excel, do you get the warning. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > Larry I don't think you can turn this behavior off. You might be able to use a macro to dismiss the warning, but just running a macro causes the clipboard to be cleared. And then instead of being irritated by having to click to dismiss the dialog, you'd be irritated by having to run the code. And this ain't much of a tip, but you can hit the Y key if your fingers are on the keyboard. > Dave, yes that stops the annoying warning dialog, but I DO want the > contents to remain in the Clipboard, I just want Excel to stop worrying and [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > > > Dave Peterson SignatureDave Peterson Thanks Dave. I just don't understand why Excel thinks one cell or one row is "a large amount of information." Must be some sort of holdover from the days of Excel 4.0, Windows 3.1 and 386 processors. :-) Larry > I don't think you can turn this behavior off. > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > > > > Dave Peterson Larry Or maybe a holdover from Version 2(1987) which was designed to run on Windows 2.0(1987) and 80286 processors.

Remember that excel will keep track of the formula, values, and formatting for that copied range. And that could be lots of information. > Thanks Dave. > [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > > > Dave Peterson SignatureDave Peterson |
