I seldom if ever use different instances but could swear that I found
pasting between instances impossible.
However, you guys are right and I'm wrong.
It works on every version I've got, so I guess I use my old, standby excuse
.... I'm old and my memory is failing.

I guess that's one of the perks of old age.
Blame it on the years and not on your stupidity!<bg

You can copy between instances but only as values and the Paste Special
dialog
is much different and only allows pasting as Object and other formats.

I do agree with the "merged cells" hypothesis.

If you have different instances of XL, you can't copy between them.
I believe that each instance of XL has it's *own* clipboard.

Also, that error message comes up when you are trying to copy and paste
*merged* cells.
If that be the case, UNMERGE them!
