The issue is that if you simply paste material copied from a web page, Word
may try to read the stylesheet or other stuff from the source website, in order to know how to format it. If that website is slow or stuck, that can cause a problem. In this case, 212.250.172.47 is an unresponsive IP address (try browsing to it). It belongs to NTLI Network Management Centre in Winchester -- is this your own ISP? -- in which case you've maybe got a configuration problem with your network setup. Quick work-around is to use Paste Special and paste the stuff as plain text. "Stevie" wrote in message ... word 2003 hangs everytime I try and paste a web page any suggestions.

Thanks Jezebel, what you described was exactally what the issue was. I was
able to go to another web page namely 212.250.162.47 and paste the required contents. You were right NTLI is my ISP. Thanks again your response was superb.

I am experiencing the same problem as Stevie. When I cut and paste from any
webpage, the word app freezes with a revolving hourglass. i read your suggestion, but I have the same problem with text from every webpage, and I don't know how to do a special paste. Also what if I want to copy and paste images and links etc. Tim "Jezebel" wrote: The issue is that if you simply paste material copied from a web page, Word may try to read the stylesheet or other stuff from the source website, in order to know how to format it.

I was running into the same problem but I did manage to find a reliable
workaround. I installed the Firefox browser and when I did a copy from it I was able to paste it into Word without any problems. Just to test it out, I copied the same bit of text from a web page opened with Internet Explorer and it locked up Word. "trburwell" wrote: I am experiencing the same problem as Stevie.

word 2003 hangs
I was experiencing the identical same problem, and it just started happening
in the last month or so. I kept getting the message to install an Office update, which I did (Office SP2) but that did not resolve the problem. Any time I tried to copy and then paste text from a webpage into a Word doc, Word would hang with the hourglass. I jsut tried Jezebel's suggestion to do a Special Paste and chose "Formatted Text (RTF)", and voila, no hang! I prefer using keyboard commands for copy and paste - Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, but cannot use this handy shortcut any longer. In order to do a Paste Special, Tim, you need to go to Edit -- Paste Special... A box will then pop up and allow you to chose how you want the copied text formatted and pasted into your doc. You should be able to use either Unformatted text or even RTF and get the text pasted into your document successfully. Patty S. "trburwell" wrote: I am experiencing the same problem as Stevie.

I think your reply comes a little late for this thread - but for *your*
problem see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm and to get Word to paste special from a keyboard shortcut attach the following macro to a keyboard shortcut: Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo oops Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _ wdInLine End oops: Beep End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Hoosierquilt wrote: I was experiencing the identical same problem, and it just started happening in the last month or so.
