Okay, you say you can't and that it's stopped working. What happens when you
try?

Are you copying something from outside Word (with Word not running)? Some
add-ins (notably the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word) clear the
Clipboard when you start Word.

I'm having the same issue. I am using IE7 and Word10. I copy from IE7 and
when I paste to Word it locks up on me. It seems to be consistant with
specific web sites. It worked fine with IE6.

Via Edit | Paste Special, try pasting as "Unformatted Text" from those
web pages.

Default how do i copy and paste text?

I'm just now having the same problem. I'm only trying to copy within the
Office suite - Copy/Paste/Cut are not working - even when I try to copy and
paste within the same Word document. (They WERE working this morning) I
can't use hot keys to copy/paste. The options are greyed out when I right
click and when I use the menu they are also greyed out.

Thanks for the help!

Also, it now appears that drag and drop won't work either - particularly in
Access.

Have you restarted Windows? That solves a lot of problems and is always the
first thing you should try.

I am having this problem as well. Earlier today all worked fine. I am unable
to copy and paste in either word or excel.
