Copying from excel 'cell' level to smartsheet cell

I need to transfer a great deal of cell level data (including sketches that have been inserted) from an excel worksheet into my smartsheet.  There doesn't seem to be a paste functionality at the cell level??  Or am I missing something really obvious?!  thx!

    Jen, Just right-click at the cell level to see the options.  "Paste" and "Paste Special" are there, as are their quick-key combinations, assuming you have sufficient authority to edit the data in this particular sheet.

    Hi All—the best way to accomplish this is by using keyboard shortcuts, as the contextual right-click menu in other apps doesn't care over to and from Smartsheet.

     

    PC: 

    Copy —Ctrl + C

    Paste —Ctrl + V

     

    Mac:

    Copy —Cmd + C

    Paste —Cmd + V

    Thanks for your help.  Ctrl+ C/V does work great for any text I need to carry over, thank you for the tip!  Unfortunatley I also have illustrations (fashion sketches) that I need to bring in; they do not cut/paste in.  I believe it is because they are inserted into the excel spreadsheet, but not cell data....if that makes sense.  Any thoughts in this case?!!
