Excel won't let me cut and paste a jpeg into the spreadsheet.

[RickS]

Every time I try to cut and paste a small jpeg into a spreadsheet I get the
following error message "Microsoft Excel cannot paste the data." I've tried
inserting it as a picture and nothing shows up. It seems like there is some
sort of protection preventing me from completing this action. I've looked
under Tools, Protection and I haven't been able to overcome the problem. Any
suggestions?

With EXCEL OPEN - Do a INSERT - PICTURE - FROM FILE. I am using EXCEL 2000 and it works. I am unable to "PASTE" the file into Excel - I have to do the INSERT procedure, (my paste is "grayed out) for the paste function.
