Cannot "copy" from within Word (2002)
Lately, when I try to select and copy text from within Word and paste it in
the same or a different Word document, nothing gets pasted. However, if I copy something, text or otherwise from any different app, it will paste into Word without trouble. I have used the application CD to repair Word twice and the problem was fixed for a short time, only to return. this is mind boggling! Any help would be appreciated! Aaron |

Cannot "copy" from within Word (2002)
Follow-up: after reading some other posts with similar problems, I tried
starting word in safe mode and the problem seems to not occur. Is there a fix for this???

If you don't experience the problem in Safe Mode, then this indicates a
problem with Normal.dot, the Registry, an add-in, or your printer driver. Read http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm and try each of the suggested troubleshooting steps in turn. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thanks for the tip. I found a template in the word startup folder which i removed. So far it appears to have fixed the problem. Will try it for a few days and let everyone know. Thanks again!
