Excel - cut and paste
I am unable to cut tables and then paste them into an Excel spreadsheet. I
can cut and paste within a workbook but not from another source, even another Excel spreadsheet. This started a bout 6-8 weeks ago. My job requires a lot of spreadsheet work now and I need this feature back. I have been using a co-worker's PC to paste and save and then continue working at my own PC. What could have caused this change and how do I fix it? I had a person from out MIS Dept but he was unable to find a solution. |

Excel - cut and paste
Marjon,
Strange ! Only thing I can think of is that some macro actually cancels your copy action. Have you got any macro's running, for example 'WorkbookActivate' ?? Other then that, any other symptoms? Does this only happen to tables or to single cells as well? Does it happen when you copy something from another Windows application, for example Word? You write that you can paste on your co-workers PC. Do you paste into the same spreadsheet all the time or do you paste into a new spreadsheet?? rdwj "MarjonCC" wrote: I am unable to cut tables and then paste them into an Excel spreadsheet.

rdwj,
It happens when trying to paste from Word and Excel, the programs I use most often. It happens to single cells and tables. The one important piece of info I forgot to include was when I try to paste into a spreadsheet, what I see is the 'pdf' icon. It's as if Excel is recognizing anything coming from outside the existing workbook as a pdf file. Marjon "rdwj" wrote: Marjon, Strange !

Excel - cut and paste
Marjon,
if you switch on your Clipboard (View - Toolbars) can you check what icon appears when you copy from either xls or word - and what happens if you switch to another application? rdwj "MarjonCC" wrote: rdwj, It happens when trying to paste from Word and Excel, the programs I use most often.
