If you use the 'Open & Repair' option to open a corrupted file, then you get a pop-up window with the message below, how can you tell what's been actually repaired or discarded in the workbook?

"Excel completed file level validation and repair. Some parts if this workbook may have been repaired or discarded."

I'd like to check that key parts haven't been removed.....

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Usually there is a button with a message saying something like:

"Click to review log file listing repairs"
