My excel 2007 on Windows 7 operating system on my "JOb computer" seems to have a probelm with regular cut function.
When I highlight cells I want to cut and press cut (either on keyboard shortcut Ctrl+x, Home menu cut command, or from the right-click menu) cells start flashing for a split second and after that they only turn normal as if cut was not active. When I want to paste them, they paste as if copy function was used. If I try to rightclick destination cell to use function "insert cut cells" it is not one of the offered options at all.

Does someone have similar problem or knows the solution?

On my home computer I have same combination, Excel 2007 on windows 7 and it works just fine. But my home OS is 32-bit Win7, and on job comp it is 64-bit version. Could this have caused the problem?

You only get the "Insert cut cells" menu choice when you select entire
rows or cols. Otherwise, you're just moving data in cells from one
location to another. Note that Excel uses CutCopyMode for this
operation and so the only option you get is to "Paste" into the
selected target cell[s].

If you want to actually delete/insert cells that cause a shift in the
adjacent cells you need to do so before transferring your data.

I don't know the solution to OP's problem but I don't experience what
you state may be the problem.

My Excel 2007 has an "Insert Cut(or Copied)Cells" with the "shift"
options when cutting/copying any range, not just entire rows or
columns.

Weel you're absolutely right, Gord! I've never tried this but I see now
that it works just as you say it does. Thanks for setting me straight
on this.., I just love it when I learn something new!<g

Just to clarify...

I usually use InsertShift at the target location and drag-n-drop the
data. (I probably do this to avoid CutCopyMode and/or putting stuff on
the Clipboard so that pesky TaskPane doesn't display in XL11!<g)

Thus, I only use Cut for moving cols/rows around.

Thanks.

I set my pesky XL11 TaskPane disabled so I never see it.
