Today I installed my new Microsoft Office Student & Teacher edition. I have
used this program before at work and at the local library, and have had no
problems in the past copying text from the internet and pasting it into a
word document (usually just BBC News reports - text only, no photographs)

But the version I have installed on my home computer won't let me do this.
Whenever I copy text from the internet onto the clipboard and attempt to
paste it into Word, the whole program freezes. I can't even close Word down
without opening up Windows Task Manager ans closing it that way.

It's extremely frustrating and I feel my copy of MS Office is not good value
for money. The program is 100% genuine as it registered and activated ok so
it's not a copy.

Can anyone please help or else maybe you are having a similar problem?
