How do I check something like that out?

That makes it sound like there is something "jiggered" in the template,
a macro perhaps?

I can cut/copy and paste between Word and Excel. I can cut/copy and paste
between 2 instances of Excel (by which I mean clicking on the Excel icon two
different times). But I can't cut/copy and paste between spreadsheets when I
either select "New" or "Open."

Does the same thing happen with two Word documents? Or Excel and Word?
Are you opening 2 instances of Excel, or two sheets in different windows?

You may create another profile/user and try it.

Humm, got me stumped. Does it do it for all user profiles?

All it does is configure Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and tell
me that Setup is completed.

It shows that the item is being copied to the clipboard, but I have to click
on the item in the clipboard for it to paste. Otherwise, it won't work.

If you click Edit, Office Clipboard, do you see anything get copied to it?

Both sheets are open and I have not installed any new software since it
started acting this way. The last new software I installed was this past
weekend and the paste function worked after that.

Typically "Paste" is grayed out when there is nothing in the clipboard.
Are you actually getting anything copied to the clipboard? Do you have
both sheets open when you try this? Or are you closing one and opening
another? If so what add-ins have been installed? New software perhaps?

Yes. It started yesterday.

have you tried restarting the PC since this occured?

changed that would keep me from doing this?
