Hi David,

Well I have just given this a quick go using WinXPro/SP3, Excel 2002 and 
PSPad (my favoured text editor).  Seems to be working just fine for me.  
I used the Plan Creation Wizard and searched for all objects in Aries 
that are visible from my site.  Total of 85 objects found.  Exported 9 
fields to an Excel file along with a header line.  Loaded the exported 
file into Excel, hit ctrl-a and ctrl-c.  Switched focus to PSPad, opened 
a new document and hit ctrl-v.  Everthing got pasted as expected.  
Anything else I should try to attempt to replicate your problem?

Have you tried varying your export routine?  Can you send me the plan 
and/or Excel file to try here?

Regards
Robin
