I am trying to copy data from one cell from worksheet 1 and paste it in
multiple joining cells in worksheet 2. I get the error message "Data on the
clipboard is not the same size or shape as the selected area."
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Richard

Are you trying to copy into a range where cells have been merged? Excel
won't let you, but you could put a formula like this in the destination
cell:

=Sheet1!A1

(assuming the source cell is A1 in Sheet1), and then you can use copy and
paste special values on that merged cell.

However, merged cells create a lot of problems, so they are best avoided if
possible.

Hope this helps.
