I have a spreadsheet that was bought by someone online. It is protected ( i
can unprotect) and it has high secruity. ( and digitally signed or something)
There are things that are hidden that make other cells add, multiply.. etc.
So its tempremental on what we can add and delete.
My problem is.. All of a sudden when i highlight a couple cells and press
ctrl+c (or copy) and the cells are then highlighted..Once i click another
cell (where i want to paste) it automatically UN- CHECKS.. This is a big
problem because the whole reason for the sheet is to copy and paste the same
data.
We are also on a network. When i went on another persons network name on my
computer.. there Excel sheet was able to copy and paste just fine.(same file
on the network) But now all of a sudden, they cant do it either. THis is my
everyday work so i would appreciate some help asap!

There are probably (almost definitly) some macros running in the backgound.
The macro that is being run (each time you move the cursor) is clearing the
copied area. There is not too much that you can do about it. Did it used to
work??? Has anything changed since then...

Yes it used to work! And it works on other peoples network Id's jsut not
mine.. anymore... I guess i can call the company who created it to find out
what is wrong. I dont know much about macros running in the backround. Or how
to fix it for that matter.
Thanks
