Problem Solved!!

I installed Skype Click to Call on 3/17/2012 (5.10.9560) and I noticed the Paste Special issue across all my Office 2010 apps (on Win 7, Chrome 17.0.963.79) whenever I opened Google Chrome.

I just uninstalled Skype Click to Call and the problem has been solved! I did not have to uninstall Skype 5.5.124. If you don't have Skype Click to Call, try uninstalling Skype.
