Introducing Live Preview for Paste Special in Excel 2010

Paste Special Gallery

Gallery of Paste Special Options

I have always loved the many “Paste Special Options” available in Excel. Now, in Excel 2010, there is a great new tool available – “Live Preview of a Gallery of Paste Special Options” – to help you to discover or to choose the best way to paste items copied to the clipboard.

From either the Paste Menu on the Home Tab of the Excel 2010 Ribbon or from the right-click shortcut menu, you can hover your mouse over one of the Gallery Icons to see a “Live Preview” of your Paste Special Option Selection.

When I demonstrate this feature  to my clients, they are amazed to discover the many options that are available! Of course, some of these same clients are also “overwhelmed” by all of the choices on the menu!

That is why I created this video – to help you to discover and to select the best Paste Special Option for your needs.

Paste Between MS Office Programs

Later in this video tutorial, I also show you how to use the Microsoft Office Clipboard and the Gallery of Paste Special Options to copy a data set from Excel and Paste it as a Picture in a Word document. With the Office Clipboard, you can cut, copy and paste up to 24 items between Excel, PowerPoint and Word. However, you must first open up the Office Clipboard for this tool to be available to use.

Additional Paste Special Features in Excel 2010

I have decided to produce an addition video tutorial to demonstrate how to use some new Keyboard Shortcuts in Excel 2010 to take advantage of the Paste Special Options.

Paste Special Saves You Time – Explore Your Options

I love the Paste Special options in Excel (and Word and PowerPoint.) They save me time. They help to ensure that I am always referring to the latest data. And they help me to be more productive. What’s not to like?

In this video lesson, Danny will demonstrate how to get the most out of each Paste Special option.

Here are the steps to follow in this video lesson:

  1. When you want to copy the “results” of a formula and not the actual formula, choose “Edit, Paste Special, Values.”
  2. If you want to copy the “source formatting” as well as the Values, choose “Edit, Paste Special, Values and Number Formatting.”
  3. To change the orientation (from Vertical to Horizontal, e.g.) choose “Edit, Paste Special, Transpose.”
  4. To ensure that your copied data remains current, choose “Edit, Paste Special, Paste Link.”
  5. You can also use the Paste Special Dialog Box to choose Paste Special “Formats” and “Comments.”
  6. Experiment with Paste Special Add, Multiply, Subtract & Divide.
