Virus in Excel ???

[Guest]

I can't right click, copy and paste a cell. I can use ctrl c and ctrl v but
that puts the info in the clipboard. The blinking dotted box no longer
appears.

Is this in a worksheet of yours, that nobody else has
used? There is a way to use VBA code to prevent you from
using right click to do anything.

Yes a new worksheet. The right click works. I can copy but when I click on
another cell Paste is grayed out.

If you try this in a brand new workbook/worksheet, do you still have the same
trouble?

If yes, then maybe resetting that rightclick toolbar would help.

Hit alt-f11 (to get to the VBE)
hit ctrl-g (to see the immediate window)

type this and hit enter.
application.commandbars("cell").reset

But there are ways for developers to try to stop you from cutting/pasting. (And
if the developer tried to do this, he/she missed the ctrl-c, ctrl-v options.
Shhh. Don't tell!)
