You're right - it looks like a problem with the Paste Command. The header
window closes and i am unable to paste text as well. What should i do?

That is the first step in trouble shooting, probably not a fix. However,
before we do anything else. Try starting Word the way you usually do and see
if it is fixed. (Sometimes it does fix it.)

Next question is, what happens if you paste text into a header? (Trying to
see if it is the paste command that is causing the problem.)

It says that "windows cannot find winword.exe/a"
Thanks for your help - i figured out that if you open two word
documents,
you can paste an image into an open header by dragging the graphic from
the
other word.doc into your header.

Wow - i don't know how you're doing it. Every PC in my office is
replicating
the same problem that i have on my laptop. I've tried using EDIT
Paste
and
as soon as i paste, the header closes. If i try EDITPaste Special,
the
dialog box pops open but the header again closes! I've changed the
wrapping
to "in-front of text" but yet no luck. This is really frustrating.
Help!

Using Word 2003, I just created a new document, pasted an image
into
the
document, cut the image from the document, opened the
header/footer
view,
and pasted into the header.

What happens if you use Edit Paste instead?

When you paste into the body, what is the wrapping set to? In-line
with
text
or something else? Just asking because mine is set to float in
front
of
text.

Please elaborate - i can't paste directly into an open header
(word
2003).
If you paste or use CRTL+V, the header box closes and the image
pastes
into
the normal document. This problem didn't arise in previous
editions of
word.
Please help.

I'm having the same problem with Word 2003. Previously, you
could
paste
an
image into your document and then drag it into your header,
but
2003
does
not
allow you to do that. The only alternative that i've found
is
to
insert
picture from file but that is less than ideal. You need to
create
the
image
file and oftentimes it pastes as a smaller image within your
header.
Please
provide any feedback on other ways to paste (CTRL+V ) an
image
directly
into
the header.

Thanks

Hello-

It depends a great deal on what you're copying and where
you're
copying
from.

It would be better to use InsertPictureFrom File, but if
the
image
is
pasting into your doc _anywhere_ you can probably cut it
from
there
and
paste
it into the Header.

No
matter the page or section I try to paste into, it will
paste
onto
the
top of
page 1, at the left hand margin and not as part of the
header.

Any ideas as to the issue would be appreciated.
