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 :(

FANTASTIC!!!! iwas looking desperately and without good answers for a solution to all my copy/paste, but mainly in Word 2003, issues ever since I installed Skype Click to Call: systematically was unable to paste copied text in it's sorcurce format and the paste options didn't even show anymore.
Now, just got rid of Skype Click to Call with FixIT (uninstalling programs) and IT WORKS!!! I just uninstalled Skype Click to Call and the problem has been solved! I did not have to uninstall Skype
