Can't tell from your description, but the clipboard is ignored by
Excel unless you copied to the clipboard AFTER opening Excel.

If that is the problem you could paste into Notepad and recopy
once Excel is reopened.

Excel won't remember my clipboard settings. I uncheck "show office clipboard
automatically" and "show Office clipboard with Control C pressed twice" and I
check "collect without showing office clipboard." Whenever I close Excel and
re-open it, "show office clipboard automatically" is checked again, so the
clipboard shows whenever I try to copy. How can I make it remember my
settings from session to session?
