A couple of co-workers are having problems with a Word document not
allowing
them to copy text. I open up the clipboard, highlight what I want to copy,
hit Ctrl+C, nothing. Doesn't copy. I do the same thing again except I use
the
menu command "Copy" to try it. Still nothing. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
