We have a problem copying an article and then trying to paste it into MS Word
2002.

This problem started last night. We tried to reboot the computer and try
again but that didnt work.

After the computer was shut down over night, we tried to copy & paste a
different article this morning and again it didnt work.

We get an hour glass for our mouse pointer and then nothing happens. If we
try to close the Word document, we get a message that the program is not
responding, and then it closes

We have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Word but that didnt help.

We can copy and paste into Works Word Processor, Wordpad and Notepad.

We have been using Word 2002 without any copy & pasting problems for almost
two years. Now in the last two days we cannot no longer copy and paste into
Word 2002..

Any suggestions for a solution of this problem will be appreciated.

Thanks.

After installing updates to Office and then sending several error messages
to Microsoft, I finally got the following answer from Microsoft. Microsoft's
greed is showing when they pull these kind of crooked tricks.

They didn't tell me why I can't paste in MS Word 2002. It could be one of
Microsoft's STEALTH Updates that they do not tell anyone about.


"Problem caused by Microsoft Word 2002: consider upgrading
