copying and pasting variable values not working

[Talino Bruno]

I am using the "value labels" box to add values to a six point likert scale
eg.,., 1=disagree,6= agree totally. I would like to do this for all the
items in the questionnaire. I right click on the row in the value column
which has this and select copy, I highlight some rows in teh same column
and select paste which seems to copy the values, I save but when I open the
file again only some of the rows in the column have the values the rest are
labeled "none". What Am I doing wrong? I simply want to have the
same "values" for each item. Using SPSS 16

Use syntax,

Value labels v1 to v(n)
        1 'Disagree'...6 'Agree totally'.
