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.

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.
