Edit → Copy
Synopsis
This option copies the information selected and stores it in the clipboard. This information can be pasted into another location using the Edit → Paste option. You can also copy information by selecting Ctrl+C or the Copy toolbar icon.
As with the Edit → Cut command, Excel does not allow you to copy multiple cell ranges simultaneously. If you attempt to do this by selecting multiple ranges of cells before selecting Edit → Copy, an error message displays indicating the copy will not occur.
When you select a range and cells to be copied, Excel also will mark the selected cells within your worksheet with dotted lines as shown in Figure 4-2. The cells remain marked until you select another range of cells to be cut or copied.
