Why will Word 2003 not allow me to copy text?
A couple of co-workers are having problems with a Word document not allowing
them to copy text. I open up the clipboard, highlight what I want to copy, hit Ctrl+C, nothing. Doesn't copy. I do the same thing again except I use the menu command "Copy" to try it. Still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

This can be a symptom of the Blaster worm. See

I don't think it is, mainly because none of our computers have had the
shutdown warning. If it had, I definitely would have heard about it. I hear about it if someone's taskbar has gone missing, so I doubt it's the Blaster Worm. Also, our virus detection software hasn't detected any viruses or worms on any of their systems. Could this be a varient of the Blaster worm, or just a minor bug that occurs in strange instances in Microsoft Word 2003? Thank you for your quick reply, Suzanne! "Suzanne S.

It could be the result of an add-in or utility. There are certain Clipboard
utilities that are known to cause problems in Word. -- Suzanne S.
