Default "Paste Special / Transpose" problem

Hello,

I want to take a list of variable names in a column and transpose it into a
row so it corellates against some previously recorded columns of variables
and their data.

Basically, I can't get the Paste Special / Transpose option to do its
business here!

I highlight the column, copy it, then higlight the cell I want my new row to
start, select Paste Special / Transpose, and then get the message "...the
copy area and the paste area are not the same size and shape..."

- well , of course not! But that wasn't stipulated in the instructions in
the help file, all it said was select the first cell where you want the row
to start.

How do I get this working, am I overlooking something obvious?
