Copy & Paste problem in Word

[Dan]

When I copy and paste either a large document or picture
in Word 2000 it never shows up... Yet when I try and close the document it
asks me if I want to save the changes ?

 

[TF]

Are you in Normal View? You can only see graphics if you are in Page Layout
View.

Am in Page Layout View. Even if I just try and paste large amount of text
nothing shows up.

Start Word in Safe Mode and see if you can copy paste. From Start, Run type
in

winword /a

and press enter. This opens Word in Safe Mode. Can you copy and paste now?

Yes that works , am I going to have to use safe mode ?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

No. Do you have Word open already when you copy? If not, is Word part of
Works Suite?

Word is part of Office 2000 Pro
Sometimes it is open, but not always !

Because it works properly when you start Word in Safe Mode, it is indicating
that there is some external influence at work: these are usually add-in
placed in the Start-up folder, custom macros or COM add-ins that are badly
written. Word Safe Mode forces Word to start in its default install mode
by-passing all add-ins and customisations including the normal.dot. Suzanne
asked about Works, because the Works Suite Add-in is notorious for causing
this (and other) problems. You need to check your system to see what has
been installed that is affecting the Office Clipboard.

The following FAQ should start you off on your investigation...
