Word 2003 - cannot paste text from web page w/o using paste specia

T

Troy

When I try to paste text from a web page into microsoft word 2003 it freezes
and I have to kill the word process to recover. If I use 'paste
special'->Formatted text, everthing pastes fine. I believe I was able to
copy and paste from web pages without this extra step in previous versions of
word. Does anyone know how I can correct this or make Formatted text the
default paste option?

If you are using Windows XP SP2, the problem may be caused by new security
restrictions in Windows.
