copy and paste produces a screen shot

Hi,
I am using a laptop. When I copy and paste in excel 2002 a screen shot appears when i try to paste. It will work fine from the mouse and the menus but not from the keyboard. It will also work fine when in Word and other office applications. tried an external keyboard and got the same problem.
I have ran Detect and Repair and did a complete reinstall and the problem is still there.
Any ideas on this would be great.

Alan,

It is possible that a macro has been assigned the shortcut Ctrl-C.

You can reset the assignments by using this little sub:

Sub Reset()
Application.Onkey "^c", ""
Application.Onkey "^v", ""
End Sub

then see how it works. If that helps, go through your macros looking for the
one that has Ctrl-C as its shortcut.

HTH,
