Where are you pasting? When you copy you have to paste the results somewhere. Open
Word, paste there.

I am trying to copy from webpage to another webpage insert/ form, but When I
right click on the highlighted text and click copy. I should be able to paste
to something. THe instructions on copy and paste tell me I will have the
option to paste but I cannot.What is wrong I am sure I do as instructions
state.

You can try using Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste, but this really isn't
an Office issue -- it's an issue with your web browser. So if you're looking
in the Help files for, say, Word, those aren't necessarily relevant to your
web browsing application.
