Copy & Paste
It's possible that when you're pasting the picture, it's including the
positioning options as well. So, what you're pasting is going over the original picture--so you might actually have a number of pictures in that location right now--one on top of the other. The clipboard you see is the Paste Options button (Word 2003: Tools - Options - Edit or Word 2007: Office button - Word Options - Advanced - Cut, copy, and paste section). Given that you're seeing it, I suspect you're using Word 2007, since I don't see that button when pasting graphics in Word 2003 -- only in Word 2007. It provides additional options for pasting, relevant mostly when pasting text. To copy that picture elsewhere, instead of copy/paste (which is going to copy the formatting), try Ctrl+dragging it from the header to the new location. If you want the picture moved rather than copied, then drag without using Ctrl. (Or, try Paste - Paste Special - and choose an option other than Microsoft Office Graphic Object. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Nurse Megan" Nurse wrote in message ...

Copy & Paste
Are both documents open when you copy/paste? Or do you copy, double-click
another document to open it and then paste? Is what you see indeed the same as the Paste icon and is the Paste Options button, as Herb described, or does it just kind of look like a Clipboard which might look a little like a mobile phone?

I will try that and see if it works. Thank you for your help!! As for your question as to wether the clipboard looks like a cell phone, it is a little clipboard with a tiny piece of paper on it. Thanks for all your help! |
