Requirements

MAICopy requires Excel 5.0 or later.


Installation

To install MAICopy, simply copy the files MAICOPY.XLA and MAICOPY.HLP to a directory on your hard drive.

Then choose Add-Ins... from the Excel Tools menu.  Click on the Browse button and select the MAICOPY.XLA file.  Click OK and thats it!  MAICopy will now load every time you start Excel and will be available through the Edit menu.

Note:  an undocumented feature in Excel 5.0a may cause the Add-in Manager to display a blank line next to the MAICopy check box.  The Add-in Manager knows the program is there, and if you click in the box, MAICopy will be active, but the name MAICopy will not show up.  Excel 5.0c, available from Microsoft Product Support, removes this feature.


Quick Start

Click on an area below to receive help for that particular item.


Input Range

Click in this area and then select the cells and ranges you wish to copy.


Open File

Click here to open a file.  This brings up the standard open file dialog box and gives you access to the many file formats Excel supports.


Contiguous

Contiguous will place all selected cells/ranges into a single column or row.


Direct Copy

Direct copy takes the selected cells/ranges and copies then in exactly the same arrangement but in a different location.  This option overcomes the inability to copy non-contiguous ranges in Excel.


Fill

Fill will copy the selected cells/ranges into a single range.  This range can span single or multiple rows and columns.


Specific

Specific copies the selected cells/ranges into those cells/ranges that you have designated as the paste area.  Note:  The order in which you select the cells/ranges for copying and pasting is important.


Copy Direction

Specifies the order in which copy ranges are pasted.  For example, if you have the following range selected:

A1  B1  C1

A2  B2  C3

A3  B3  C3

Then selecting columns will copy the cells in this order: A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3.  Selecting rows will copy the cells in this order: A1 B1 C1 A2 B2 C2 A3 B3 C3.


Paste Direction

Determines if the information is to be pasted into a row or into a column.  Note:  This option only applies to the Contiguous paste method and has no effect on other choices.


Output Range

Click in this area and then select the cells and ranges where you wish to paste the information specified in the copy range.


Multiplier

The multiplier is a number of formula applied to all the cells in the copy range.  Only numeric values are affected by this option.


Ignore Blanks

When selected, MAICopy will skip over any blank cells in the copy range.  Note: This option only applies to Contiguous and Fill paste methods.


OK

Click on this button to begin the copying process.


Cancel

Dismisses the dialog box without affecting the data.


Help

Displays this help file.


Change To

This area specifies what to do when the data falls within the limits to the left.


Qualifier Position

Specifies whether the qualifiers are added to the left or to the right of the data.


Limit Value

Specifies the Upper and Lower limits that will be applied to the data.  If this data falls within these limits, the data values are changed to those specified to the right, or in the case of Exactly, if the cell value exactly matches the entry, it will be changed to the value specified to the right.  Note: when using both Multipliers and Limits, the program will first Multiply the copy range, then apply Limits.


Options

Displays more advanced options such as Limits, Qualifiers, and Multiplier.


Qualifier

The qualifier can be any alphanumeric character(s) and is applied to the data.  For example, if the data value is 50.45, the qualifier is W, and the qualifier position is right, then the value 50.45W will be copied to the paste area.
