Flipping the data back and forth among various file types (copying to Word, over to Outlook, then re-copying back to Excel) is bound to cause formatting issues. Right-click and select the option ‘Insert Copied Cells’ and this will. Right-click the cell containing the value and select Copy. Use this method if you want the same value to appear in an entire range. Next, copy these rows and scroll to the place where you want to insert multiple rows. For example, if you want the word 'wikiHow' to appear in multiple cells, type wikiHow into any empty cell now. But the system you describe sounds maddeningly over-engineered to me. Follow the below steps to use this method: First of all select multiple rows in your spreadsheet, by multiple I mean they should be equal to the number of rows that you want to insert.

Or you could let your supervisor write on a hard copy and you type the changes. Or your supervisor should get/learn Excel and “edit” your sheet when you turn it in. It sounds to me like your company needs the services of a good IT professional to set up some sort of environment in which your supervisor has direct access to the data that needs editing.

How did you two come up with this way of doing things? This may sound a little harsh, but … can your supervisor not simply edit the file in Excel? Does s/he not have Excel? Or has it but doesn’t know how to use it? What’s the barrier to simply attaching the Excel sheet to the outgoing email, rather than dumping the text into the body of the email? I don’t really get how this copy-and-paste process you describe evolved.
