MS Excel Copy and Paste

I am running MS Office Pro 2010.  All of a sudden I began having problems with Copying and Pasting cells.  The option to paste a FORMULA from a copied cell is gone.  When I try to paste or "paste special" a formula, it only allows me to paste the value.  I used to get several options for pasting "special", but now I only get "Unicode Text" or "Text" (see attachment)User generated image.  

Can you please let me know how to fix this problem and restore the ability to paste formulas?

Thanks,

Phil

Zorvek,

I went to my Firefox add-ons, and Skype was already disabled.  But I noticed that two other new add-ons that seem potentially functionally related to Skype were there - Google Talk and Babylon Translation add-ons.  I disabled both, and Excel is fixed.

Thanks,

Phil

I am experiencing the same problem - having only unitext and text as options under Paste Special.  I am running Excel 2007 on Windows XP.  Looking at the Excel Options / Add-ins window, all add-ins are listed under "Inactive Application Add-ins".  None appear to be related to Skype, nor is there an option to disable them.  I assume they have to be under "Active Application Add-ins" to be disabled.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

The Skype and other add-ins are in Firefox.

I am using Google Chrome and disabled (and removed) a "Click to Call" Skype Extension.  That fixed the problem.

Thank you. I never would have found it.
