It was working earlier today. Tried to copy from one file to another....which
i do all day and nothing happens. THe computer is only 2 days old and I have
never experienced a similar issue. I tried shutting down and rebooting still
won't work. The copy function does hightlight the text but and will paste on
the same sheet but not to another file. Please help
