When trying to Copy and Paste an AutoCAD Block version 13 (cell) from a DWG file using the commands CTRL+C and CTRL+V or Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste,
the Block will not paste into the DGN MicroStation V8i. With two sessions open;
In the DWG, the Block is selected, then copied (Edit > Copy) Moving the mouse into the DGN file, select Edit > Paste The Block can be seen on the end of the mouse cursor When clicking to accept the Paste command, the Block disappears and does not paste into the DGN
I just want to verify some information here. From what you have posted, I am reading it as if you have the DWG open in Acad and you have the DGN open in MicroStation and you are attempting to copy and paste from Acad to MicroStation. Is this correct ?

no sir I opened both drawings in MicroStation V8i. Dwg file as read only and the Dgn file as open
ok - gotcha.
After the paste command, is there anything in the message center stating what may be happening ?
and none of Marys' suggestions worked ? (these are what I would have recommended doing as well )
The message centers? are you talking about the key-in window? I see the part when I hit ctrl V but the second, I hit place with a left click of the mouse the part is gone. I do see below the key-in a message that said (Element selection> identify element to add to set)
Message Center generally docks here-
If it has something to tell you, you will see something there
