    Just to clarify, you say the question you link to is similar, did you try the solution to it or do you not have the Skype add-in.

  • @Tog Hi, yes - in the end of the post I described the environment. There is no Skype involved here. Commented Jan 24, 2013 at 10:58

    I presume you can (1) click on cell A1, (2) click in the formula bar, or press (F2) to edit in the cell, (3) select the entire contents of the cell, either with the mouse or by typing Ctrl+Home followed by Ctrl+Shift+End, (4) press Ctrl+C to copy the cell, (5) click on cell A2, (6) edit the cell (as in 2), (7) select the contents of the cell (as in 3), and (8) press Ctrl+V to paste. I realize it’s not a viable, long-term solution, but it’s a workaround –– and, if this doesn’t work, your problem may be worse than you realize. Commented Jan 25, 2013 at 0:42
