Default how do i copy and paste text?

Have you restarted Windows? That solves a lot of problems and is always the
first thing you should try.

Also, it now appears that drag and drop won't work either - particularly

in
Access.

I'm just now having the same problem. I'm only trying to copy within

the
Office suite - Copy/Paste/Cut are not working - even when I try to copy

and
paste within the same Word document. (They WERE working this morning)

I
can't use hot keys to copy/paste. The options are greyed out when I

right
click and when I use the menu they are also greyed out.

Thanks for the help!

Are you copying something from outside Word (with Word not running)?

Some
add-ins (notably the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word) clear the
Clipboard when you start Word.
