Copy Paste in Excel 2007

[NoviceAccessUser-Melanie]

Up until today I was able to copy and paste a range of data from one
worksheet to another worksheet in a different file. Now whenever I try to
highlight a range, press Ctrl C , mouse over to the other worksheet, and do
Ctrl V or click on Paste,
the Range where I am copying into is blanked out. Is there a known bug in
Excel 2007 related to the Copy and Past functionality. I have been working
with old and new spreadsheets and never had this problem until today. Please
shed some light. Thank you.

Did you try pasting to Word or Notepad to check whether it is Excel related
or some other problem? How about copy to Notepad then to Excel?

It seems to be only Excel related. I even try creating a new Excel file and
it still doing the same. And it also happens to different ranges of data that
I copy.

It may seem to be Excel related but it could be clipboard related.

Using WindowsXP? If so,
click 'start'
click 'run'
type clipbrd and press the Enter key.


Now try copying in Excel and check that each time it copies, the result
shows in the Clipboard window.


The following Example will help you search Microsoft Knowledgebase.

If you copy the line after this paragraph and paste it into your favourite
search engine is should produce all "cannot paste" references in Microsoft
Knowledgebase relating to Excel. Update "cannot paste" different key
phrases or words to get different results.

excel "cannot paste" site:microsoft.com/kb


You aim is to modify the search to minimise the references found. Possibly

XL2003 paste fails site:microsoft.com/kb

Or

XL2007 paste fails site:microsoft.com/kb


Note: If you just enter 'excel paste site:microsoft.com/kb' (without the
quotes) you will get 2680 references I am fairly sure you don't wish to
wade through that many!
