tried several popular fixes from the web without luck. Causing me real problems when you cut then you can't paste and your work is now GONE! if you saved before the action.. I've been working on this problem for a year!

Tried: the Excel repair and diagnose tool

Tried: uninstall / reinstall Excel program as well

Tried: go into Hikey - user - software - Microsoft - excel - new - 32 binary and tried adding new rule

Tried: Close Excel.2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[userID]\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel3. Delete the XLB file.4. Open Excel (the XLB file will be recreated - like the normal.dot) ------> This one - I could not find the XLB file - looked everywhere.

Tried: Open excel hit alt-f11 (to get to the VBE) hit ctrl-g (to see the immediate window) type this and hit enter: application .command bars ("cell").reset Then back to excel to test it."

Any ideas? Thanks!
