Default Cannot paste cell after typing

Good morning,
I'm encountering a quirk in Excel that bugs me. I select an entire cell by clicking on it once, with the intention of pasting that cell somewhere else in the spreadsheet later. However, between the copy and the paste actions, I decide to type some letters into another, empty cell. Now when I go to paste the previously selected cell, it has disappeared from my clipboard, does not have the marching ants around it anymore, and I cannot paste it!
Why does this happen? And is there anything I can do about it?

Office 2000 9.0.2720
Windows XP Pro SP3

Thanks!
