LO58257: COPY AND PASTING CELLS TO NEW MEMO FROM EXCEL 2007 RESULTS IN AN IMAGE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Copying and pasting a table or cells from Excel 2007 into a
  new Memo in Lotus Notes results in an image/picture instead of
  text.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1.) Create a new memo in Notes
  2.) Open Excel and type text into the cells
  3.) Copy table from Excel and paste into new Memo
  
  RESULT: A picture or image is pasted
  EXPECTED RESULT: Text or an editable table is pasted
  
  This does not occur using the same Notes build with Excel 2003.
  There appears to be a change in Excel that's causing this issue
  with any Notes version
  

Local fix

• To workaround this issue, in Notes go to Edit --> Paste Special,
  and choose the default option, "Paste" and in the "As" section
  choose "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet", which is OLE, "Rich
  Text" or "Text" options.
