Excel X - pasting into find or replace dialog?

  #1  
Nov 4th, 2004
For some reason, Excel won't allow me to paste into the find or replace dialog. This is more than a little inconvenient. Am I missing something? Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix or workaround?

TIA!

OS X 10.2.8
MS Excel X v10.0

After selecting Edit > Find (or cmd-f) or Edit > Replace, I cannot paste from the clipboard into the fields in the Find or Replace dialog, by either cmd-v or by Edit > Paste. In the case of Edit > Paste, the option to paste is not even available (i.e., it is "grayed out"). Thanks!

Hi,

What are the contents of the copy? What are you selecting when you hit cmd-c or cmd-v? What I am getting at is are you trying to copy a graphic into a text cell, or something strange like that.

I have also found out that in XL that you do not want to select "destination cells".
