Made a spreadsheet, high light the data, Ctrl-C to copy.
attempted to paste the data into an webpage program Ctrl-V but does not work
in MS Excel 2007 Beta.

Have been doing the same procedure for years without difficulty.

Open my Excel XP and carried out the task without any problems.

Not sure why but all you get is a dot at the cursor no xfer of data.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
