Hi Ron,
Yes these may be helpful options to know about but they do not relate
to John's question.
Here's a little more detail on the options you provided:
In Excel:
The Tools/Options/Edit: "Extend list formats and formulas" applies to
an Excel list.
For example if you are typing an Excel list formulas/formats will be
automatically repeated in a new row in the list during data entry.
Note: 3 rows preceding the new rows must be formatted and 4 -5 rows
preceding the new row must contain the formula for this option to kick
in.
Show Paste Options pertains to the Smart Tag Paste action button. For
example when you paste the Smart Tag Paste action button may appear
with "Keep source formatting" and "Match destination formatting".
In Word:
- "Keep track of formatting" option is for formatted text and will
display on the Styles and Formatting Task Pane.
For example if your Normal style is Times New Roman 12 pts and you
change the format of a paragraph to Arial 14 pts and Bold then the
Styles and Formatting Task Pane will reflect: Arial, 12, Bold.
I personally dislike this option and prefer to utilize Styles rather
than create documents with a lot of direct formatting. With this
option turned on you may find Word responds a little slower than if it
is turned off.
- "Drag and drop" text editing allows you to drag selected text to
another location without using Cut/Paste.
