Re: Cut, copy and paste greyed out

Oops. This will reset the options under Edit on the worksheet menu bar.

For the icons on the Standard toolbar:

Tools|Customize|toolbars tab
Select Standard
and click reset.

Microsoft Excel 2003 SP2 on Windows XP SP2

The Cut, Copy and Paste icons are greyed out. They are also greyed out on
the Edit menu. Obviously the Paste icon is meant to be greyed out until
there's something in the clipboard, however it remains greyed out even when
I've copied some text.

The Cut, Copy and Paste options are available if I right-click a cell and
work OK.

Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work fine.

I've run Help - Detect and Repair and it made no difference.

This problem occurs on both new and existing workbooks.

Any ideas how to fix this?

thanks,
