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

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

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.

It depends on the dialog - the Find dialog (CTRL+F/CTRL+H) is one that does
not respond to a right mouse click and as far as I can recall, never has.

It certainly works for the Find dialog box in Word 2007 (I currently don't
have any older versions to test).

OK apologies - it does work in 2007, but not in 2003, and as far as I can
recall not in the earlier versions either. The OP is using 2003.

It must definitely be new in 2007 because we would not have had so many
questions about pasting into the Find dialog if it could be done (in any
way) with the mouse. I can confirm that the context menu is not available in
Word 2003.

Well, apparently I don't make use of the context menus within dialog boxes
that often, since I hadn't even noticed that it wasn't available in the Find
& Replace dialog in older versions. :-)

And, of course, Ctrl+V is a lot faster.

Indeed. That's why I can't tell you whether or not it worked in previous
versions, but I'm reasonably certain it did not.
