In case of Virtualbox, I understand Excel does not receive any idea about where it's data is pasted to and therefore paste operation is not possible as pointed out earlier because the date is not actually in clipboard, it is put in there during paste operation by Excel.Д«y the way, oddly enough when you copy and paste data from guest Excel to host Excel or Wine Excel, it pastes as a Picture object.Д¬reate an Autoit script and assign it a shortcut e.g.

I mean wherever you choose to paste Excel data, it is destination app which sends to Excel what it is and Excel then converts the clipboard to destination application format e.g. Or when it is pasted in host, trigger the same action is triggered when you paste it in notepad on guest or even pass the actual command the destination app sends to Excel when it is pasted to. Script when focus with Excel clipboard moves out of guest. 'open notepad -> paste -> select all -> copy -> exit notepad' Hi, yes but it does not mean Virtual box can't do this

You are copying text/data that is coded so Excel knows which numbers go in which cells etc. The shared clipboard feature is to pass plain text between host and guest. I don't believe you can do what you are trying to do. The same problem occurs also with every other software in Windows if I paste the clipboard content on Excel or Numbers. The only way I found to go around the problem is to manually delete that invisible character from each cell, but it's really painful if you are pasting hundreds of cells. For this reason, it is impossible for me to include those data in formulas and other macros.

Then, I paste the clipboard content Excel for Mac but all the numbers copied are there pasted in a strange format, with some sort of unknown and invisible character before them. When I try to copy some data (usually numbers) from this program, everything goes well. I have this big copy/paste issue between a software running in Windows XP VM (Molecular Devices Clampfit) and Excel for Mac.
