My bet is that you have two instances of excel open and you're copying from one
instance and pasting into another.

Close one of the instances of excel and open the workbook in the first instance.

Then try the copy|paste.

In Excel 2007 if I copy a formula from one file and paste it in another, only
the result is copied.

If I go to "paste special" it is disabled. I can paste between sheets on the
same file fine.

Any suggestions?
