Peculiar problem facing in web application due to microsoft excel

We have devoloped a very huge web application for General Motors. Th
problem we are facing here, whenever we tried to copy either the labe
or value from the screen (struts with jsp) and paste it in microsof
excel, then try to access the application, the session is gettin
expired.
This happens only when we copy and paste the content in microsoft exce
and not in any other editor like notepad etc.

The following are true
- you have a webapplication with a user session.
- if you select and copy text in your browser, everything is okay
- if you paste it into notepad, you can continue surfing
- if you paste it into excel, your session expires

But it work fines when you could work by using Paste Special, instea
of Paste. When you do Paste Special, it gives you a menu of all th
types of data on the clipboard. If you choose something simple lik
plain text or HTML, the problem might go away

how to solve the issue by using paste option instead of paste special?
Why this is not happening in other web application like yahoo, googl
and etc

:confused: P
