Certain grouped objects are pasted as a picture in Excel 2010

You have the following objects together with other objects in a group�in a Microsoft Excel 2010 workbook:

• OLE objects
• ActiveX controls
• Form controls

When you copy and then paste the grouped objects into another instance of Excel 2010, the grouped objects are pasted as a picture. Therefore, the functionalities of the grouped objects are lost.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

• Copy the grouped objects to another workbook in the same instance of Excel 2010.
• Ungroup the objects and then copy and paste the objects individually.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
