AWUG/iWUG Help and Discussion Forums

I am attempting to copy values using copy/paste. I copy a value in one cell and try to paste it to another cell. When I apply the paste nothing is put in the designated cell. I have attempted to copy titles such as "Date", "Amount" as well and they were not pasted. These titles were in the darkened title bar at the top of the spreadsheet.

I opened a new spreadsheet as a test and found that the copy/paste technique works on it. I entered a number, then copied it, and pasted it to another cell. Why does this work on one spreadsheet and not the other? Have I turned something off or on which prevents this from working on the spreadsheet? Is there a preference that is involved?

I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac. I am using Numbers 09.

I posted this question on the Apple Discussion web site but got no satisfactory answer. Hope you all can help.

That it works in other documents, just not this one, would indicate there is some corruption of that document. I would copy & paste all of the data into a new, blank spreadsheet & see if that works. If it does work, just save this new document & trash the old one. If it doesn't it would be a problem with one cell & would be very difficult to track down.
