What caused my paste function not to work?

E

EXCEL USER

Even I checked the box under tools/edit/show paste button, I can not copy and
paste from one excel workbook or file to another.

How can I make the paste function work again? When I am in a work book, or
click on Edit, the "paste" option is not highlighted on the toolbar.

Sounds like a worksheet protection issue - check that the worksheet where the
paste button is disabled is not protected.

settings?

While this is active you cannot copy and paste between workbooks

I found this out from personal experience! It is mentioned in the hel
file but "blokes" don't read intructions do we
