Well, I don't know WHAT to say now! NOW I can copy across pages
from the Reader and Paste it into MSWord or anything else! But
yesterday I couldn't.

Well, it confused me for a minute or two, but I think I've
figured it out: I must have tried something not the way I said
yesterday.

If I press CTRL-A in the Reader, ONLY the currently viewed page
where the cursor is located becomes highlighted. And of course,
that's all one can paste into Word (or any other app).
This is repeatable: I've opened/closed the Reader (version
7.0, Standard plug-ins) three times now and it's the same each
time.

HOWever, if I move the cursor to the top of the file, select
the Text tool, and press CTRL-SHIFT-END, the entire document
highlights AND Pastes into Word just fine!

So, the moral of the story seems to be to not use CTRL-A to
select the whole document; it only selects the current page.
Checking the File menu, I also noticed, which I never did
before, that you can Save As a Text document. Dunno how long
that's been there; I think it's been a few revs at least.

So, it sounds like the OP might have been trying to use CTRL-A to
select the entire document, though I dont' think they mentioned
it; it might have helped if they had.

Suzanne comes thru again: Good catch/kick in the butt there;
thanks.

I would not be surprised to learn that you were able to select,
copy, and
paste *text* from multiple PDF pages in Word. Text is text, not
an object.

Huh! Not that I doubted it, but I went off to check it out
for
grins, and darned if that isn't right. Before checking, I'd
have
sworn I've transferred multiple pages from the reader to Word
before but - sure can't do it now, if I ever could!
That kind of protection makes sense, but ... Ida sworn ...
well, you know;-(
It's a "feature" of Adobe, so it wouldn't matter much what
you're
trying to paste it into - only so much can get to the
clipboard.
A brain is a terrible thing to lose!! Now, where's my ears
again?

An object inserted into Word cannot span more than one page.
A
workaround would be to split your PDF file into separate
one-page PDF files, and insert the separate PDF files into
Word.

Thanks!
