Bill,
It is also important to note that LF or CR is not preserved either. If
for example you copy a run of cells from Excel in a column (multiple
rows), they will also run together when pasted into a rev field.
This has been the behavior forever in MC and Rev as far as I know, so
technically I don't think it is a bug as much as an unexpected feature
failure?
-------------
Returns indicate rows:
10
20
30
Pasted into Rev yields
102030
-----------------
I did notice one major problem was fixed in 2.9:
In pre 2.9 when pasting from Excel with a number formatted with comma
separators for the thousands produced odd results. You would only get
the comma followed by the hundreds, tens and ones. Also you would get a
style (color) showing up where there was not one:
Excel:
1,000
Pasted into Rev pre 2.9 used to get:
,000 - and the text appears in red even though no style was applied in
Excel.
