What happens if data is copied in cells that have existing data?

You will initially get a warning asking if you want to overwrite the existing data. If you say yes, then it will be overwritten. What effects that will have will depend on what was in those cells. Sometimes you will want to change the data, so there will be no real problem. If you overwrite important data that should not be changed, or overwrite formulas with data, it will affect how your spreadsheet works. So always be sure you know what you are doing when overwriting data. Remember too that you can undo if you have made a mistake. Pressing and holding the Ctrl key and pressing Z will undo, or you can do it from the Edit menu or toolbar.

Why do you think its important to be careful when tinkering the debug utility?

The Debug utility was a utility included with MS-DOS and intended for advanced programmers to use. It was intended for writing short programs using machine code and may have been able to overwrite files too. Every once in a while, an end user would need to use it to do a low-level format on a hard drive.Now it was a very powerful utility. If you just play around with it without messing with files, you would likely hang the computer. If were were messing with files, you could overwrite or corrupt them. With the wrong commands, you might even overwrite the partition table if the computer had a hard drive, and then your data would be useless.
