Copy / Paste Function & the Office Clipboard

Excel 2003

When I copy in Excel, I am able to paste via CTRL-V or the paste tool only
so long as the copied item maintains a "moving border" (i.e., the cell is
bounded by a running dotted border). Other than recopying the cell, is
utilizing the Office Clipboard the only way to continue to paste after the
moving border is "turned off"?

TIA.

Sorry about the double post. My first submission said it wasn't successful!

I don't use the office clipboard, but when that marquee effect (marching ants?)
goes away, I have to recopy the range.
