Has anyone else had this problem? I'm trying to copy a list from Mathematica (intel 4.1.2) to Excel 97 using MathLink for Excel and the "MathematicaPaste" button. The list is about 100 elements long. When I do the paste, every 6th element is preceded by a "\ ", and comes through as text. It's not a constant 6th, but sometimes 7th. It's a remnant of some sort of internal line break from Mathematica I assume. Now if I convert the cell to Input Form and do the same select-copy-MathematicaPaste, then it comes through fine. Switching back to Standard Form, the \ comes back. Has anybody found a fix other than converting to Input Form before copy-paste? Thanks Chris
