This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics NAV for all countries and all language locales.
Symptoms
When you copy a cell value from an Excel worksheet to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), two special characters are added at the end of the value. These special characters are rectangle signs as line feed characters.
Note If you run Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Excel on a Windows 7-based computer, these two characters are not visible. If you run Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Excel on a Windows Server 2003-based computer, the characters are visible.
These characters are added to the fields in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Therefore, you must delete the special characters manually.
Cause
This problem occurs because the carriage return (CR) character (ASCII 13) or the line feed (LF) character (ASCII 10) is added when a cell value is copied from an Excel worksheet to an application. The RoleTailored client (RTC) uses the text control, based on the standard .NET text control. If the .NET text control has the Multiline property set to "No," when you paste a control text that contains the CR character or the LF character, only the text before the characters is copied. If the text control has the Multiline property set to "True," the "new line" character can be used. For more information, visit the following Microsoft website:
TextBoxBase.Multiline Property
In a classic client, Microsoft Dynamics NAV must implement special processing for the Paste method of text edit controls. The "new line" characters must be removed from the end of line.
