ABSTRACT:
A system and method of copying and pasting a source range of cells onto a destination range of cells in a spreadsheet. The source range includes at least one working range of cells and at least one fastening range of cells that include graphical objects. The source range of cells and any graphical objects whose associated fastening range of cells is included therein are copied onto the destination range of cells. When the cell identifications are relative rather than absolute, means for identifying the working range of cells within the source range of cells are replaced by means for identifying the copied working range of cells within the destination range of cells.
