Hi billybob
Then there are two lines of inquiry that you might follow.
The first is to start Word using the /a switch. To do that, do Start Run.
In the box, type "winword.exe /a" (no quotes) and click OK. Create two new
documents. In one, put some text and an image. Try to copy and paste that
into the other.
If that works, then find normal.dot (see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ocNotBlank.htm for info on how
to find it), re-name it to oldnormal.dot and see if that still works OK. If
it does, then you can use Tools Templates and Add-ins Organizer to copy
any customizations from oldnormal.dot to your new normal.dot.
The second line of inquiry is to see if you have an errant add-in that is
creating the problems. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...514521033.aspx. Don't be
put off by the name of the article - it shows you how to track down addins
to see if one is causing your problem.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Shauna, for responding.. Its not just a specific document...it's
any document, whether an online html or an offline word document. They
all
refuse to copy and paste. If it is a word text only doc, it copies and
pastes great every time, but not if it contains an image.
