Copy & Paste from Web to Word '03
I am having trouble copying text from web pages and pasting to a Word
document. When I find text on a web page that I want to copy I highlight it all and the right clickcopy and then open Word '03 and right clickpaste and Word just hangs up without pasting my text. I end up doing the control,alt, delete thing to end Word and can't complete my task but, when I try and paste to say "notepad" there's no problem. Then I can copy from the notepad file and paste to Word and it works fine so, it appears to be a problem copying and pasting from the web only. Can anyone provide a remedy as this is very frustrating and makes my job very cumbersome. -- Mrmars |

If the web page has a lot of HTML code in it, Word can take a long time pasting it into a document, especially if the code is complex and contains Java etc. I have experienced Word hanging on occasion too. If you're not interested in preserving the formatting etc, your method of using Notepad is actually the best (and probably the safest). Another way is to use the following macro, which I've associated with control-shift-V: quote Sub PasteUnformatted() ' ' PasteUnformatted Macro ' Control shift V pastes the clipboard without formatting Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False End Sub /quote HTH -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

The situation is I am a recruiter and part of my job is to research job sites
like Monster, Yahoo Hot Jobs, Career Builder Etc. Once I find a resume that could be useful I copy and paste it to a Word Doc. which is the format my superiors require. It seems this problem just began occuring within the last week. Your explanation regarding a "macro" is beyond my Word experience.
