When trying to copy a word in an email and then trying to paste it,
nothing happens.

I can go to WORD, copy a word and then copy it into an email....but if
I try to copy a word from an email and Paste it into an email or WORD,
nothing happens

Are you using the menu Edit --> Copy, or are you using command-c? Sometimes
Entourage looses keyboard shortcuts but the menu items work. Usually
quitting Entourage will fix the problem.

BTW, have you run Repair Permissions lately? Using Repair Permissions after
installing MS Office or any application that uses an installer is often
advised. To use Repair Permissions:

1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
4. Click the repair permissions button.

Don't run from CD. Updates contain a newer versions of the application's
permissions.

Copying text from some complex HTML emails seems to be broken. I have often
found that text cannot be copied (or, more critical for me, accessed by
AppleScript) with some 'newsletter' type of HTML emails.
