Well, now I've got that working just fine. No bug. Perhaps I had somehow
already set the font of that cell to the blue Verdana by my previous paste -
I thought I had put it back to normal, but evidently not. Anyway that's
working correctly now. Thank goodness - I really didn't feel like resetting
every property of the font - and even just the font probably doesn't cover
all aspects of formatting, more would have o be changed. 'paste special data
type paste text' does take care of all that.
