Copying text from Email into a Word 2002 document
For years I've been able to copy a sentence or paragraph from an email (Yahoo
email) and copy it into a "New" or "Opened" Word document. I subscribe to several groups for quilters who share helpful quilting hints. About two months ago, something changed. Whenever I copy a portion of an email* and try to paste it into either a new Word document or an opened document, Word freezes and crashes (non responsive) and asks whether I should send a message to Microsoft. *I notice that when I "select" it in the email, it now takes black text on a white background and after the selection it's white text on a blue background. I am running MS Windows XP Professional, 2002, Service Pack 2, on a Dell Inspiron 5100, and Word 2002 SP3. I have "repaired"/reloaded Word from the original disk this week and that didn't help. I notice that my version of word includes options for Asian text (Japanese / Chinese) but I don't seem to be able to delete it... (Word, Tools, Options, "Asian Topography," and "Japanese Find". Under Tools, Language, I have it set to ABC English (U.S.), but that menu also offers "Japanese Consistency Checker," which I don't recall having seen before. I've run Disk Clean-up and Disk Defragmenter. I'm using Internet Explorer but don't know how to determine which version is installed. Thanks! I just want to be able to collect "words of wisdom" from emails and paste them into a Word document. Please help! |
