It would help if you could explain what you are trying to paste.

Paste Special Help (Excel 2003)
Make sure you have both workbook files open in the same instance of excel.
Close one workbook (and that instance of excel) and use File|open to open the second file. Then try it.

You may have checkmarked ToolsOptionsGenerl "Ignore other application" which
would cause you to open a distinct instance of Excel for each file opened by double-click. ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications" If no joy with that................ Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)OK.
