wjmdes Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Trying to paste tables from Excel onto my layout. Tried Paste Special as both Text and Rich Text, nothing. It always worked fine before X12. Anyone having issues with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Those do not appear as they were pasted using Text or Rich Text if so I have been missing out on something for a long time and really want to know what I am doing wrong. BTW, I am able to paste into the .plan file, just not to Layout. Looks like this in ExceL: These three are copied and pasted from Excel to Chief: Picture Rich Text Text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was commenting that I do not believe these were pasted directly to chief via Rich Text or Text without some serious formatting in Chief that is beyond my knowledge at this point.

Expand Copy table in Excel, paste to layout as Rich Text, it pauses for less than a second like it did something and then nothing. I've zoomed out, turned on all layers. Nothing different than I did in X11. It WILL let me paste to the .plan, so I have a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier today I was unable to paste a cabinet from one X12 plan into another. I tried clearing the clipboard but no go. Closed and re-opened and it was fine so not reproducible.

DavidJPotter Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Contact Tech support tomorrow is my advice. It could be that your Excel document exceeds the pre-programmed limits of a "Rich Text" dialog. You can try breaking the Excel document into two parts in the meantime.

wjmdes Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Interestingly, I opened my Layout that I was testing yesterday and on the first page were 7 pasted Excel worksheets. Not where I pasted them yesterday, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjmdes Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Good, I was not losing my mind, from the Update Notes: Quote Corrected a problem in which a Paste Special action involving Rich Text/Text into a layout file would always place the item on Page 1.
