Exporting data rows from HeidiSQL to Excel 365 results in pasting 'marching ants' from previous ctrl-C

[Biff Malibu 636]

Hello friends,
Please forgive me if this has been solved already. I do a lot of data swapping back and forth between Excel and HeidiSQL. My problem is when I go to copy an excel-generated query statement into HeidiSQL using Ctrl-C (gives me the marching ants) when I run the query and then attempt to export the data out of Heidi back into excel by hitting paste, I get the contents of the 'marching ants' rather than the data from Heidi. Is there any remedy for this? I do this procedure dozens of times per day, and having to remember to hit escape each time before exporting from Heidi is getting very annoying.
Thanks for any help!
Biff

Odd. I find that when I do another Ctrl-C, even in another window (say notepad), it causes the 'marching ants' in Excel to disappear. Then again, personally I don't find hitting ESC after Ctrl-C to be a big deal.

Yeah I thought the same thing the first 100 times, lol!

I easily do this 100 times a day since Ctrl-C is my primary copy mechanism.
