Are you serious that Microsoft hasn't found an issue for this yet? SO
MANY
PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE!!!. Search some threads on the internet, and NO
it
is NOT an acceptable solution to paste just text, when sometimes we need
the
formatting from the websites. PLEASE help fix this problem!.

I have copied text from a website and pasted it into Word. I keep getting

for 10-15 seconds. This happens repeatedly. How can I stop this? I do not
need the document tied in any way to the original website, nor do I need
any
tie to HTML. (The file is saved as a DOC.)
