I have no problems copying and pasting between Word documents, but as soon as I try and copy from the internet and paste into Word, MS Word freezes and I have to use Task Manager to exit.. That's because when you copy a web page (control-A control-C) you're also copying a huge amount of HTML code and probably also images, scripts, links to other pages, etc. It takes Word a L...O...N...G... time to render all of this. Eventually Word will come around but, as I said, it can take a long time. You might have slightly better results pasting into Excel (surprisingly) instead of Word. If you don't need all the formatting and just want the text, paste into Notepad instead and then copy and paste that into word. Another possible workaround is to save the page to your hard disk from Internet Explorer as an HTML file and then try opening it (from your hard disk) with Word. Another trick that I've used is to open the HTML file with Notepad first and zap any Java scripts etc that I find. Save. Close. Reopen with Word. Word is definitely not the best choice for working with HTML. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |
