Excel, copying a cell from one worksheet to another

[Richard]

I get this message when trying to copy a cell from one workbook to another.
Data on the clipboard is not the same size or shape as the selected area.

Hi,

Select a single cell on the destination worksheet and then paste.

I didn't do a good job of explaining. I am trying to copy one cell a
worksheet and place it in multiple joining cells in another worksheet. That
is when I get the "Data on the clipboard is not the same size or shape as the
selected area." message.
Thanks
