Copy/paste from IE8
After a recent HD failure I installed OfFice 2007 anf IE8 on an XP Pro system.
I used to be able to highlight a portion of a web page, copy it, then paste it into a Word doc - now when I do that I get the "hourglass" for a moment but nothing appears. What setting am I missing? |

I should add it was IE7 that I was able to copy/paste from. |

Copy/paste from IE8
That gives a near unintelligable jumble of text, and I never had to do that
before.

Copy/paste from IE8
Specifically, I first noticed it on Citi CC bill pay. If I just "Print
Preview" the page I only get the minimal verification info from the innermost frame. If I "Screen Shot" I get a lot of extraneous stuff, or things cut off. I have been able to copy from a few sites but not from others, and not just €śsecure sites€ť. Might this be some new feature of IE8, maybe having to do with €śAccelerators€ť or €śSearch€ť? (PS How do you disable Search? Its a major PITA when trying to navigate folders, etc.) Or some sort of security feature? If you remove IE8, does it revert to 7?

Copy/paste from IE8
As this page appears to be a secure link referring to your personal account,
the link is inaccessible other than by you. The site's home page will copy - eventually - but contains a load of stuff that doesn't sit well with Word. It sounds as though you need SnagIt. Try the trial version but be warned, you will find it so useful that you will want to buy it -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Perplexed wrote: Try copy and pasting part of this one: https://www.accountonline.com/cards/...YqQ84zNX7ZfZwJ "Perplexed" wrote: Specifically, I first noticed it on Citi CC bill pay.

Copy/paste from IE8
The link is to a log in page - secure but still public, and was never a
problem before. I tried duplicating the settings of my brother's XP Home/IE7 system (where copy/paste isn't a problem) but it still won't work - I'm guessing it's an undocumented "improvement" in IE8.

Copy/paste from IE8
So, the only real solution is to roll back to IE7?
