Sometimes when you snip to a cell that appears blank, the cursor jumps to the next cell over. This article explains why that happens and how to resolve it.

DataSnipper writes snip data to a cell when you make a snip. If a cell is cleared of its text or numbers, the snip data remains unless you use the Delete Snips button. With that cell highlighted, the next snip you make is placed one cell to the right. This is expected behaviour.

In rare cases, when large amounts of snips are deleted, the snip data still remains in the cell and prevents snipping to that same cell. DataSnipper then snips to the next cell to the right that does not contain snip data.

If the cursor is jumping to the next cell, first make sure the Delete Snips button has been used. You may need to use it on an individual cell to delete the snip data. If the cursor still jumps after that, you may need to remove the cells entirely using the right mouse button and the Delete option in Excel.

With the cells removed, the snip data no longer exists and cannot cause the cursor to jump to the next cell. If you still cannot snip to a specific cell after removing the cells, contact the DataSnipper support team.
