[GNC] Copy and paste account into a new account

[Edwin Booth]

Thank you! I have tried your No. 2 suggestion countless times and just does
not reappear. I’m not sure what you mean by the down arrow on the column
headers (I’m using a MacBook). I only get the side-to-side arrows as well
as the regular cursor. I’m keen to try your No. 3 but have no idea how to
do that.

Thanks so much for the reply!

Edwin
