I have the following copy and paste issue since yesterday. Probably it started when I was trying to edit a locked Excel-doc which i found on a shared server (that is - it was not created with my installed Excel). Similar but different from the thread Excel copy-paste is only copying as values, but I want it to copy formulasExcel copy-paste is only copying as values, but I want it to copy formulas (which was related to Skype, which I don't have on this machine).
Steps to produce issue:
1. Suppose A1 is " = 1 + 1 ".
The sheet shows 2 in cell A1, as it should.
2. Click on cell A1 and press Ctrl+C in order to copy the cell.
3. Click on cell A2 and press Ctrl+V in order to paste what is copied.
4. ---> The formula of A2 is 2 and not " = 1 + 1 ".
What I have tried - without success:
1. Change "Calculation options" in the excel folder "Formulas" from "Automatic" to "Manual" and back again..
2. Restart Excel - starting a new doc.
3. Restart Excel - opening an old doc.
4. Paste special giving the paste alternatives Text or Unicode.
5. Google searches - it seems to be a common issue in particular it occurs for [Skype users][2] who have a special plug-in.
2-3 above made it work for a while, but not for long (could it be a service ???)!
Edit Also, 4 is worthless because if I display the clipboard in order to show what is copied into the memory, then nothing but the value of the cell is displayed in the clipboard!
My environment:
1. I remote virtual machine which use Win7 and Office 2007.
2. I do not have Skype on the virtual machine (but I do have it on the local remoting computer)
Do you have any idea?
