I'm unable to paste from one document to another

I can cut and paste fine within a document but cannot copy from one document
and paste into another.

Hi

Do you have 2 separate instances of Excel open?
If so, then the Paste options that show will not be the normal list that
you see when you right click.

Open both files in the same instance of Excel and you will be fine.

Sounds like you have your two workbooks open in separate instances of Excel,
which will not see each other.

Close one instance and open both workbooks in a single instance of Excel.

Define 'can't paste'. Do you get an error? Is there nothing to paste. Does
the paste not look the way you thought it would. Do you get an odd dialog box
refereing to how you want to paste...
