Harry, try having both Word and IE open at the same time, then doing the
select all command in IE to paste the text to the clipboard, then Alt
Tabbing to Word and pasting the text to the open document.  Sometimes I find
it takes a little time to get this job done so be patient.  Don't forget to
use the task bar with its minimized programs instead of the old idea of
closing one program in order to open another.  

Thx, Albert

Subject: [VICUG-L] still can't copy to clipboard and paste in!

Hi all,
Harry here.
I'm using a gateway laptop, running windows xp home edition and jfw 10.0.
I'm trying to copy an article from the web to ms word.
I am using IE 7.
I go to the article on the web then select all with control a then hit
control c to copy the article to the clipboard, then close IE then open
word, then hit control v and it doesn't paste in.
I tried another suggestion which was to press control a to select all, then
hit alt e for edit, then down arrow to copy and hit enter, then open word
and paste it in, and it's still not there.
Now here's the weird part.  I can copy text and paste text in within a
document in word, like a test page, if I write, this is a test".
What is going on here?  If I don't have my clipboard, I'm ruined as far as
computing is concerned.
Harry
