Ctrl+C Ctrl+V results in Paste Special

[NAR PAN]

Hi,

When I use Ctrl+C to copy in Excel 2010 the copying is not showing. When I press Ctrl+V in the cell where the contents need to get copied, it automatically turns Paste Special. I am not able to copy formula to the new cell. The OS is Windows 7.

This problem started appearing from last week when I was using Excel 2007. Excel 2010 was installed and the problem continues.

Request a solution to this nagging issue.

first thing that comes to mind:
-Check your shift key isnt stuck down
-check you dont have sticky-keys enabled

holding the shift key whilst pressing ctrl+v is the shortcut to paste special.

Hi Thanks. However, neither Sticky Keys are Turned On nor the Shift Key is stuck. Shift key works perfectly for other operations.

Hi Nar Pan,

It seems a recent Skype Click-to-Call browser add-in is causing problems like your pasting issues on many systems. If you have that, you may need to disable or uninstall the add-in until Skype releases a fix.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the solution. In fact I downloaded Skype Click-to-call feature. Can you also tell me how to disable the feature.

You uninstall it the same as most other software - from the Programs and Features applet in the Windows Control Panel

Thank you very much. I have uninstalled Skype Click-to-call. Hope it works from now on.
