Thank you so much for this tip. I had searched & searched, but could only find the tips that showed how to change the default save as. This absolutely worked for me, and I am super happy! Thank you again!

Thank you!

This helped a frustrated man who was working way past midnight. (4am)

You saved my night! =) I was able to copy+paste formulas after these tips.

We have the same problem at my company. Thanks for your detective work.. Could you supply the group policy setting your IT guys had set ?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for this useful tip which worked for me. It was getting to be quite annoying.

I found out today that this was a result of my companies group policy settings. After talking to the IT guys I was able to have them change this for me since there was no reason.

This of course comes after completely blowing away my profile and recreating it on my laptop…

Update – I’ve discovered that this is somehow related to my user profile. I’m not sure if it’s a group policy or local setting but when I do a ‘Run As’ for Excel and use a different user account that has never logged onto my laptop before, I get the default view in Non-Compatibility mode…
