Default Paste Special in Excel 2003

Hi Guys,

- I've created 2 blank Excel documents(book1, and book2)
- I entered aa,bb,cc in A1,A2,A3
- Copy A1 to A3 and tried to paste it into B1 using paste spacial
- paste special menu comes up and I can select values

now

- If I Copy A1 to A3 from book1 and try to paste into book2 using paste
special
- paste special menu (but this time it is different) opens up and it does
not have a normal paste, values, formats, all, etc.
- In this case, paste special menu has picture, bitmap, html, etc.

Can you tell me how can I paste special into book2 and see the normal paste
special menu which I see in book1? (paste by values)

Is this an OS related setting?

Someone has suggested to "uncheck" the in memory checkbox in Excel.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
