Actually, now the cut function is not working either. I cut (Ctrl+x) a cell then paste to a diferent cell. In the formula in orginal cell remained. New cell displays value of the orginal cell. It also allows me to paste in as many cell as I want. If memory servers you can only paste a cut cell once.

If I right click . Under the Paste Option only has one clipboard shown "A" Keep Text Only (t) displayed.
If I choose past special then I get as Unicode Text or Text.

I could but I don't think it would mater in this case. I discovered a little bit more about the issues. My Excel works fine if I don't have the Internet Explorer open. When IE is open it acts like I'm trying to paste someting into excel from IE. This is truly odd. I'm not sure how to resolve the issue is it with Excel or IE? I'm going to see if it work with Chrome open.

any suggestions?
