Legitimate (i.e. I paid for them) copies of both Windows XP and MS EXCEL 2007.

Not sure if I need to include anything else, so if you need more info just ask.
So, here's the problem. Yesterday I was having problems with MS Excel's Format Painter option. I have used this feature many times in the past and have had no problems with up until now. I SELECT the cells that I want to take the format of, click the button, and the it deactivates itself almost immediately. This will happen as many times as I will PUT up with it. I have tried to restart Excel, and even Windows, but that does nothing. I can't think of any reason it would suddenly refuse to work, but hey, it's Microsoft, anything it possible! I wish there was more I could say about this, but it's all I really know. :/ (Of course, I could just format the area to look like the other one, but I feel that defeats the whole point of the tool) Update: After just doing other things in Excel I decided to try using format painter again and it works just fine. I don't know why, didn't do anything but copy/paste and writing in text in cells. So yea, every is fine now it seems. >.> You are welcome.
We have been using our Transparent Help Robot Beta and glad to here it is working for you.Are you AWARE of two modes of using Format Painter? If you single-click on it, the first applying of it to a cell or range of cells applies the copied format and then cancels any further applying from that just-initiated action. If you select a cell as the source format and then double-click on Format Painter, you can repeatedly apply that format without again clicking on the Format Painter icon. To stop this, hit the Esc key.
