i cant find the "paste special" how do you perform paste special, i have copied a data series (yearly) and right click it to the other workfile (quarterly) and all i see is "paste"

To answer your question and add to Gareth's link I should note that EViews 4 only offers a single frequency conversion method from annual to quarterly (repeats)--hence there is no paste special. Performing the copy-and-paste will simply construct a series with quarterly repeated values within the year. Multi-page workfiles and up-conversion were both introduced in EViews 5.
