Hi

I need to use this line of code:
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="text", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:= False
The problem: When I use another computer with Office in another language (not English) the command is different ("text" in another language) and I get 1004 error.
Is there a way to write the same command that will "fit" any language of Office ?

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
So does that work on your machine? I cant find a pastespecial option to paste as text. Change the cell format to text first then pastespecial values.

You could find out about the equivalent of the word "text" in the other langauge and replace text with it .

I personally use a French edition of Office and I just replace "text" with "texte"

Also, how about using the PasteSpecial Method of the Range object instead of that of the Worksheet object ... Something like :

Code:
Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
This shouldn't paste any color formatting if that's what you are trying to avoid.
