In Excel 97, on some spreadsheets I can't use Ctrl-X to cut multiple
cells at once.  Other ways to cut work, but Ctrl-X is my preferred
method.  On other spreadsheets this does work.  Has anyone ever seen
this before?

What happens when you try?

Nothing?

Error message?

Cuts wrong area?

The cells must be contiguous, and when you paste
the receiving area must have the same dimension or
be a single cell.
