I don't know what happened but all the sudden today I can't cut/paste or move any rows, columns on any of my spreadsheets. It was fine Friday. To my knowledge there's been no system update on my machine (it's my work laptop). I feel like there's an easy fix. Help!!! I have a ton of stuff to get done. Thank you!!!

PS. I don't get an error or anything. I cut, go to where I want to paste, paste. Nothing happens. (copy seems to be fine but I can't delete columns either)

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Yes, the cut item is there. I just realized I also can't even insert a row or column either.

Sounds like corruption.

Restart your PC twice, then see if you have the same problem.
