Copy Functionality Lost

Up until a day or two ago, I could select a cell to copy, paste it into
another cell and the original copied cell would remain available to be copied
again (it would be highlighted with the dotted border).

Now, after one paste the copy cell reverts to normal, and I have to
re-select it to copy into another location.

I know I can use CTRL or SHIFT, but I find the retention of the copy ability
useful.

This is a networked office PC and imagine I might have to ask our IT Dept
(as Administrator) to do something.

Any ideas appreciated, thanks

If you paste by pressing Enter you'll exit Copy mode.  If you paste via
Ctrl-v you should stay in Copy mode.

Hi Jim

That doesn't work anymore either; no matter which way I copy - Keyboard,
Mouse or Menu - I can only copy once.

I'd next guess that code is running when you paste.  Right click the
worksheet tab and pick View Code.  If you see any code in the module that
appears look for a sub named Worksheet_Change.  This routine would run when
you paste and it may be clearing the clipboard.  It could be another sub
though, e.g., Worksheet_SelectionChange.  If you don't see anything then I
don't know what's going on.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your help.

I thought it was an Excel problem, but infact it is only the one workbook I
am using at the moment. I will check for the codes you suggest.

I did find the Worksheet_Change and removed the routine.

Everything is back to how I like it.

Your help is really appreciated, especially as I was looking in completely
the wrong direction!
