Trying to copy and paste ...
....a page that includes both text and clip art without success.
I get a message that states: Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.. Then Word tries to save the page but gets into a never-ending loop and you have to end up deleting the file before it will stop. What do I need to do to be able to copy and paste a text page that includes images? I can copy text pages with no problem, but if the page includes a graphic, that's when the problem starts (both online and off). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi billybob
What you are experiencing is not normal. You should be able to copy and paste text with images. It sounds to me like there are fundamental problems with that document. If it were my document, I'd make a safe copy somewhere, and then apply the tips described in the following: How can I recover a corrupt document or template - and why did it become corrupt? http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm 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. |

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. Shauna Kelly.

I'm not sure but this may also be a security setting on the network that is
inhibiting copying anything other than text. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ...
