Hello Diana,

my method using WINDOWS NT 4.1; Mathematica 4.1; EXCEL 97:

1. Blacken the contents of the Mathematica cell you wish to copy.
2. Use right key of mouse.
3. Select "Copy" - not: "Copy As"!
4. Jump into an EXCEL cell.
5. Paste.

On my system I get the same output as it appears in Mathematica which shows
my output in StandardForm. I do not get FullForm when copying.

It does, however, happen from time to time that - using my standard prcedure
- I paste Mathematica cell contents into an e-mail where it miraculously and
inexplicably appears in FullForm.

Good luck!

Math friends,

If I program Mathematica to calculate a Cayley Table for A_5, for example,
and it displays on the screen in the notebook, I have not been able to
figure out how to paste the values into Excel without all the extra
formatting, such as quote marks. Has someone worked this out?

For example, the Cayley Table for A_5 copies as follows into Excel...
