Keyboard shortcut won't copy zero text value?

[Ed from AZ]

I'm using XL2003. According to the Help file for Keyboard Shortcuts,
Ctrl+" copies the value of the cell above into the active cell. The
value I'm trying to copy is '0.0 (apostrophe+"0.0", since the sheet is
set to not display zero values, so I use the ' to make the zero value
display). The "0.0" shows up when I hit the keystroke, but disappears
as soon as I hit enter.

Is there a different keystroke for this function that will accomplish
this?
