When I try to copy and paste a graphic into another illustrator file I get the message: "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area?" Can anybody help with this? Do I need to change a pref setting? I'm using illus cs5. Thanks!

View > Guide > Clear Guides

If you select and delete guides with the direct-selection tool (white arrow), it leaves behind the top and bottom points of the guide, which are out in space. Use the selection tool (black arrow) to select and delete guides. Clearing them should fix the problem.
