Copying and pasting can be a common practice in the digital world, especially when it comes to creating content for work or school. However, sometimes we may encounter issues such as files that cannot be opened or block articles that cannot be copied. In this article, we will provide solutions and tips on how to deal with these problems effectively.
How to Fix Excel Files That Can’t Be Opened
Excel is a popular application used for data organization and analysis. However, users may encounter issues where an Excel file cannot be opened. There can be several reasons behind this, such as network issues, file corruption, or compatibility issues. Here are some solutions to fix Excel files that can’t be opened:
Check File Permissions
One of the most common reasons why an Excel file cannot be opened is due to file permission issues. Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to access the file. If you are working on a network, check with the network administrator to ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the file. Additionally, check if the file is read-only. If it is, you will need to change the file permission to edit or modify the file.
Repair The Excel File
If the Excel file is corrupted, you can try repairing it using the built-in repair feature in Excel. Open Excel and click on “File” then “Open.” Select the corrupted file and click the arrow next to the “Open” button. Choose “Open and Repair” from the dropdown. This will try to repair the file and open it.
Convert The File to Another Format
If the Excel file cannot be repaired, you can convert it to another format such as CSV (Comma Separated Values). To do this, open a new Excel document and click on “File,” then “Open.” Select the corrupted Excel file and choose “Text Files” from the dropdown menu. Select the CSV file format and click “Open.” This will convert the Excel file to a CSV file, which can be opened with Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet software.
How to Copy Articles from Block Format in Word
Copy and pasting text is a common practice when creating content in Word documents. However, sometimes, when the article is blocked in Word, there may be issues with copying articles from the document. Here are some solutions to deal with block format articles:
Use the Keyboard Shortcut to Copy
One of the quickest ways to copy text from a blocked article is to use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+F8.” This unlocks the selection tool, which you can use to select the section of the article you want to copy. Once you have selected the text, use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+C” to copy the text.
Convert The Blocked Content to Plain Text
If the keyboard shortcut doesn’t work, you can try converting the blocked content to plain text. To do this, right-click on the blocked content and choose “Paragraph.” In the “Paragraph” window, select the “Line and Page Breaks” tab and uncheck “Keep with next.” Click “OK.” The blocked content will now be converted to plain text, which can be copied and pasted without any issues.
