 * Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 1.x, 2.2, 3.0, 4.0

SUMMARY
When performing a Cut or Copy while editing a worksheet in Microsoft Excel, the Clipboard only shows a description of the cell selection, for example "Cut (or Copy) 2R x 3C". The Clipboard does not display the values of the cells.

When executing a Cut or Copy command, Excel displays a marquee around the selection and a description of the action and selection size in the Clipboard. Both of these actions are designed to show that Excel is acting in a special manner.
