Cannot paste from one Excel file to another Excel file
 

Excel 2003 - Within the same file, I can copy/paste from any cell to any
other cell but I cannot copy/paste from one Excel file to another Excel file.
The paste function in the menu is greyed out. Copy/paste from Excel to Work
works and from Word to Excel.

What can I do to solve this problem? Thank-you!

Is this a problem with all Excel workbooks and worksheets?

Or just when pasting from bookA to bookB

Or just when pasting to a particular sheet in bookB.

What I'm trying to get at is............do you have some sort of protection on
something that is preventing the paste.

That is what usually "grays out" those commands.

It seems to be with all Excel workbooks. I have started new workbooks and
cannot paste between them which is also the problem I am having with existing
workbooks.

I tried starting Excel in safe mode also.
