Tried highlighting, tried re-installation of MXeditor after running a couple of registry cleaner programs, .... - same result, that red diagonal in the circle indicating I'm not allowed to use hex editor. Most frustrating.
Looks like there is some other program causing a conflict so next move is to attempt the task on a notebook with less junk on it.
Yes I'm DUMB!!!
The red circle with diagonal bar was a red herring. The obvious missing step after the drag was "SAVE". Stupid me was expecting to see an "L" for learned immediately following the drag.
Old age does not always generate wisdom.
Apologies for wasting people's time. If it is any consolation it wasted hours of mine - serve me right!

Did you get it working? I looked at that xls file, and whoever formatted it did an absolutely terrible job. When trying to copy/paste the hex, I ran into many errors.
I found if you select the field and highlight from within it, the full code would copy/paste. If you selected the field, then tried to highlight copy/paste from the little bar up top (it's the single line of text up top that looks kind of like the URL space in a web browser. I don't know what excel calls it), the full code would not copy/paste. I checked the copy/paste in IRScrutinizer to verify this.
