I am OP. Thanks for all help and comment. What happened seems not to
have had anything to do with iTunes or Excel. In what I was trying to
do, Select All just quit working, and Copy didn't work either. I
restarted, both functions resumed their normal operation, and the
playlist pasted into Excel.

Thanks Savageduck for suggestion to obtain formatted printout of
playlist by printing as a "Song list" and choosing the "Save as PDF"
option, which will come in handy in the future.

Re do I have a specific reason for importing into Excel, I want to
create a document which, for a particular artist, lists albums only,
not individual tunes. I used to know how to do that in Excel and hope
to remember, now that my playlist has been pasted into Excel.
