Can't Cut, Copy or Paste

**oldchippy** · 11-27-2006, 03:43 PM

Hi,

I seem to have a problem. When I load Excel the Cut, Copy & Paste icons are greyed out, also if I right-click the three are greyed out there as well. I can still do Ctrl C & Ctrl V, but can't get Paste Special.

I've tried Detect & Repair but still no fix? I've downloaded spreadsheets from this forum today and it seems to be while doing this, could one of these had a macro to disable Cut, Copy & Paste?

I've got Norton with all the latest updates. Any ideas anybody?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Oldchippy,

The very same thing happened to me ...
It is the Currency Converter spreadsheet which had these command bars changes ... I warned the author to modify it quickly ...

The code to re-instate everything is also available in the modules ... but not used by the program ...

Found the link, how do I get things back to where they were?

Well ...

Download again the spreadsheet ...
and from Tools Macro run both Enable macros ...

No problem ...

We have to be careful with the young, ambitious, bold fellows, eager to learn, but not mature enough to thoroughly test their code before posting it ...

Glad everything is back to normal for you ...too ...

What if this happens and this hadn't been downloaded? I have a user that is having this issue now and am looking for help troubleshooting.
