Copy and paste

Hi, I have a macro running on a large number (600,000) of domains. It's going to take about a month to process all of them. The macro makes use of copy and paste. The problem is, I can't use the copy and paste functions elsewhere while this is going on.

Whenever I copy anything, by the time I go to paste it, Excel has copied a cell. So say I'm on the internet and I want to copy some CSS or something I can't type out easily - I copy it - but then when I press paste, I get the latest value from Excel...

Is there some way I can continue to use copy and paste in Windows while Excel is doing its thing?

Thank you for helping.

Charlie

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

It's true, I have also posted this question on another forum, excelforum.com, however I haven't had any answers yet. I didn't realise cross-posting was frowned upon. I do apologise. I will make sure to close this thread as soon as I find a solution, no matter where it comes from. I would post the link to the other thread, but I can't because I can't copy and paste, hence why I created this thread in the first place.
