We could not copy the content to the Clipboard, it is in use by another application. You can still paste your content within this workbook but it will not be available in other applications.

This problem occurs randomly and with only a few cells being copied. The spreadsheet locks up and the only way out is Save>Close and open the book again. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to close Excel completely.

Sometimes the top ribbon completely greys out and I can't do anything.

This is becoming a significant problem.

    I haven't used that functionality so can't answer your question. My original post identified that, as often as not, Copy would throw up an error message.

    Things are a lot better now, since if you get the error message you can Cancel it and repeat the Copy. It then works. Maybe one day they'll get rid of the error completely.
