You don't state what happens when you try it. So .......... hard to guess at
it.

> why would the copy/paste function stop working on a spreadsheet
Any number of things could prevent copy/paste.
What happens instead of copy and paste working?
Message that you can't do this?
Nothing? Excel shuts down?
Nothing on the clipboard?
Please give us a hint.

I had a weird anamoloy in Excel where the quick keys [Ctrl]+C was not
copying, instead it appeared to randomly delete a column of data. A very
undesirable effect. So to correct the issue I went to the add/remove
programs and selected the Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, then
clicked "Click here for Support" and selected "Repair". The repairs process
took <10minutes and corrected this strange behavior. Hope this helps.
