I have been using Excel for a long time and I have never had problems with the Format Painter to copy formatting to rows. Today when I click on the button the cell would look like it had a selection box around it for a split second and then it would disappear instantly making it unable to paste formatting again.
Not sure if it is a related issue but when I copy "CTRL + X" usually you would see a selection box around the cell that was "Cut" but the same thing happens here where it would deselect. It still lets me paste what I cut but the only thing is the original data is still there after I have pasted. It also does not allow me to copy normally and paste formatting as it only gives me the options for "Unicode Text" and "Text".
Please someone help because I need this for work :(

Skype has released an updated version of the Click to Call browser add-on that should be free of the problem mentioned above.

Did you see the Skype related answer in the previous post?
Yup, I too deleted Skype 'click to call' from the list of installed programs, clipboard now works.
This fixed my problem. It may be certain sites in concert with which browser you use. I noticed when Firefox 11.0 was open I had this problem, but with IE open there was no problem. I had been working on the same spreadsheet for a month with no trouble and am sure I had Firefox open at times prior to this but maybe it wasn't 11.0, or maybe I wasn't on the same sites I was on today when the problem suddenly reared it's head. In any event, closing Firefox fixed the problem and re-opening it brought the problem back.
Thanks for the help, I thought I was losing my mind! :)
How do you uninstall just the click to call?
