can't copy text to new pub document

[lindalou]

I am trying to copy entire pages from one Publisher 2007 doc to another. It
will copy the text in some text boxes but not in others. I don't understand
why this is happening. How do I get it to copy the entire page as is? I am
using Ctrl A or Select All.
Thank you.

Oh, another thing to add: Even if I select only a single text box, it will
not copy any text.

I have this problem intermittently (I use Publisher 2003); when it happens,
there are two things that I have found you can do: 1) after your copy
command, click on Edit and then on Office Clipboard--you will see your
'copied' section on the drop down menu--click the image and it pastes it into
your file; you will have to follow this process for as long as your file
remains open; thus, I usually choose the second option which is 2) to save
your work and close your file; reopen it and the copy/paste commands will
work like they are supposed to again.
