Will the office clipboard work in a macro? I can't seem to make it happen.

Thx

Re: What are you trying to do?

Building a mail merge file from blocks of info. Very basic......taking a column here, there, doing basic calc (+-/*) and copying into another workbook. Was taking the office clipboard and copying 12 pieces to it and then going to the merge workbook.....

I had never really used Excel before a few weeks ago, bought a dummy book and just started using it........... gotta start somewhere.....

Thanks

Todd

The clipboard works the same for macros as for manual copy/pastes.
In your macro, just write the code (or record) for your copy/paste and the clipboard automatically takes care of it. Whether manually or by macro, of course, you have to copy/paste each piece of data "piece" by "piece".

Post again if I've failed to understand your problem.
