Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a way to copy and paste notes from cells in Excel for web? I know you can in the app version using paste special, but the option just doesn't exist on the web version? I have a truly ridiculous amount of notes to copy across to a new document (did it manually from the original onto one new version and it took the better part of 2.5 hours), so it would be really nice to not have to copy each one manually again!

Thanks,

R.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately the web version doesn't support this. You do need the desktop version app to do so. Sorry.

    Thanks for the quick reply, Emily! I had a feeling that might be the case. At least I'll probably be alarmingly quick with all the keyboard shortcuts by the end of it all!
