My system has been doing this also.

I'm using:
Windows 98SE / ME
MathLink for Excel 2.1
Mathematica 4.0.1

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
