pasting a printscreen into Vista excel

i've always used "alt-prntscrn" and "ctrl-V" to copy images into excel
worksheets. With vista, I can't. I've also tried pasting into Paint and
saving THAT file(in both jpeg and bmp formats), then copying THAT into excel.
Doesn't work.

I HAVE to use print screen- the program I'm using has absolutely NO WAY to
save/copy/export the image I'm analyzing.

Can someone help?

I just did a Alt-Prtscrn, opened Excel 2003, and did a Ctrl-V, and it pasted
the image just fine.
I do have Gadwin Printscreen installed, which I normally use to
capture/save/print. Don't know if that affects it.

When you use the Vista Snipping Tool the image is saved to the clipboard.
You can then paste it into your spreadsheet.

Have no idea, it works fine here. Vista Ultimate SP-1 pasting into Office XP
Excel worksheet.

I just did the same thing in Vista 64, using Excel 2007. Worked fine. No
other "pasting/print screen" software installed.

Try using the Snipping Tool. This should help.
