Fw: Re: problems with cut and paste in version 19

[rhonda rosenberg]

I can't paste data from cells into other cells - when I do that with a long column of data the first few rows are always pasted in incorrectly.  I agree I'd like to go back to v.17

In v.19 variable view, I can't copy the format/type for one variable and paste it to other vars. very frustrated. Also, syntax window acts weird sometimes. It jumps, copy, delete, or paste unintentionally. I have to remember click 'save' frequently so I could go back in case the file was messed up. By the way, I just started using the v. 19 a couple of weeks ago.

my main issue with cut and paste in syntax files is that if I just do cut and paste in the file without doing any other changes and click "save" the cut and paste work does not save at all! It's as if spss does not register that any changes were made.  I lost a lot of work before i trained myself to always remember to enter and delete a random letter or something like that. This issue is in version 18. Does it persist in v. 19?

Oh!! I wasn't spcific enough either! What specific OS? Version 19, i understand but 32 or 64 bit? And there might be a few more subtleties, too.

About 6 months ago, there was some discussion on the listserv about problems with cut and paste in version 19, but it doesn't look like there were any solutions.

Now that version 19 has been out longer, I was hoping there was some solution that spss has come up with that someone on the list knows about.  It's hard to imagine that the program doesn't support such a simple and common function.

Thanks,
Eric
