This isn't usual behavior.

Maybe you have a macro that has stolen that shortcut key combination.

If you open excel in safe mode:
close excel
windows start button|Run
excel /safe

does your ctrl-v work ok?

If it does, maybe it's a helpful(?) addin.

Chip Pearson has some notes that you may want to read to help diagnose your
problem:

Hi Everyone,

I have a CTRL+V problem. When I use CTRL + C and CtRL + V to paste. It
copies and paste only the value for the cell. I want it to copy all, but it
keeps defaulting to copy vales. Does anyone have the same problem and is
there a setting to turn it off?

Regards,
