I didn't say that.

Number of people who enjoy the books before the movies: 1,000,000
Number of people who say they enjoy the books after the movies: 100,000,000

99% of people who say they like the books are really just fans of the movies.

And that only sells...

Add the people who have borrowed it, taken it from the library...

You really think more people have read the books than seen the movie? You're sticking to that are you?

that new body of people 99% really only like the movies.

There are many, many illiterate people in this world. Many of them in the USA.

I first read Tolkien in 1967 (The Hobbit) - I loved it.
Lord of the Rings wasn't read until 1970 - I loved it.

I read the hobbit to my son as a bedtime story over several nights - he loved it.
Being of the younger generation he didn't have patience for the Lord of the Rings books but we went to see the films together and thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

Hmm... I liked both the books and the films and accept that the level of detail and the level of "action" in film need to be adjusted to keep the majority of the audience involved. Not a problem.

My first exposure to The Hobbit was in elementary school; my 4th grade teacher read it to us for about half an hour each day right after lunch (so 1966/1967). We didn't get through it during the school year; once it became obvious that wouldn't happen, I got it from the library and read it, then went on to The Lord of the Rings trilogy right after that. As soon as I got my first job, I really liked the books, but the movies just didn't have the same appeal. I thought they were OK, but don't really feel the need to watch them again.

First contact to Tolkien was the book of the lord of the rings when I was 11. And I loved it. Read it several times over my teen years.

If I have 2 non-adjacent cells selected eg A1 and A4, hit Ctrl+C, and then Ctrl-V in a different application I only want the contents of A1 and A4 pasted into my document, not A1, A2, A3, and A4. Within Excel itself only the selected cells are pasted, but it barfs the selected values as soon as you try to go outside.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yep, known problem. What you can do is hide the unwanted cells/columns/rows before copying.

... or copy 1 at a time.

... or paste into empty cells in Excel (end of rwo) and then copy a second time to paste externally.

Pretty sure with the learning curve factored in, writing any sort of macro there would take longer than the time I'm spending on this task. (Probably 2-4 hours.)
