Copy/Paste
Having just installed Excel 2007 on both my labtop and desktop i have a
problem. The old copy/paste (ctrl c and ctrl V) works fine on my laptop but not on my desktop. Adding rows (ctrl +) and deleting rows (ctrl -) also works fine on my laptop but not on my desktop. The ctrl c works but when i use ctrl v to paste it says "No sells found". I can however use the Paste function icon, but I like to use the chortcut. Can anyone help with this problem ? |

Joe,
My one and only guess is that you may have gotten a bad install on the desktop system. Are ctrl+v/+c still working in other applications? You might let Excel check itself out to see if it thinks it needs a repair: Click the 'Office' button at the upper right of the Excel window, then click the [Options] button at the lower right of the window that opens. Choose [Resources] in the left pane, and the use "run Microsoft Office Diagnostics" to see if it can detect a problem.

Hi
I tried that, and there were no problems found. Just in case I ran the Repair function from the installation CD. Again no problems reported, and still did not fix the problem. Yes, ctrl c+v works fine in all my other office products. -- Joe "JLatham" wrote: Joe, My one and only guess is that you may have gotten a bad install on the desktop system.

Joe, Like I said, that was pretty much my one and only thought. I did some
searching and don't find anything about it. I've got 2007 installed on 2 desktop machines and neither one acts like that. Since it's hard to tell which part of the process (ctrl+v or ctrl+c not really working) you might be able to pin that down a little by displaying the clipboard task pane: on the Home tab, click the little pull-down arrow in the lower right corner of the Clipboard group and the clipboard pane should come into view. That arrow is a toggle: display|hide. Now when you press ctrl+c, something should show up in the clipboard list. If you have empty cells selected when you do it, it will at least show "(preview not available)". This will tell you whether or not things are getting to the clipboard to be pasted or not. Perhaps someone will come along that has a better idea about this than I do. At this point, if it were me, I'd probably end up throwing up my hands and doing an uninstall/reinstall of either Excel alone or Office itself, and muttering in a rather tight jawed manner about having wasted an activation - trust me, it's happened. You might try the [Contact Us] button on the Resources page - same page that the diagnostics are run from - and seeing if you can't get some help from Microsoft directly on the issue before taking the somewhat drastic step of uninstalling, reinstalling and reactivating.
