For some reason I am no longer able copy and paste into the Find What window.
I know there are other ways of using the find facility but still I do not
understand why I can no longer copy a word or phrase and paste into the Find
What window. I am using word 2003. I would be grateful for any help.

Cheers

Are you using Ctrl+V to paste?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Ctrl+V works. I have got used to
using the mouse and suddenly I can no longer do so to copy and paste a word
or phrase into the Find window. I must have done something, I know not what,
to make this happen. I would like to know how to put be able to use the mouse.

Kind regards

It has never been possible to paste into a dialog using the mouse; only
Ctrl+V works.

Although you cannot drag and drop text into a dialog box, you should
certainly be able to right-click and choose Paste from the context menu.
