Default Copying Excel 2007 data to external programs

I can save teh Excel 2007 file as an Excel 2003 file and the copy and paste
works fine.

Is the difference between the ".XLS" and ".XLSX" file extensions causing the
problem?

The Excel 2007 file name ends with ".XLSX", where the saved as 2003
version ends with ".XLS".

Hi,

I can't duplicate your problem copying from Excel 2007 to Word 2003, Project
2003 or Project 2007 or Word 2007. Please give us additional details.

Before being upgraded to Excel 2007, I could highlight 1 or multiple cells
and paste into another application (like Microsoft Project). With 2007 I can
copy and paste inside Excel, but when I try to paste it into another
application, it acts like the data was just blanks. If I click in the data
bar in Excel and copy the data itself, I can then paste the cell into another
application, but this takes much longer doing 1 cell of data at a time,
especially if you are trying to copy an entire column.

Anyone know what changed and how I can get around this issue?
