Works Portfolio

[pinkytoes]

XP Home and Works Suite 2001 which has Works 6 and Word
2000 SR-1;
I have been using the Portfolio with no probs, but now
cannot add new items (.jpg; .jpeg; .gif; or web text.)
from anywhere - web, clipart, not even from Word. The two
methods used successfully previously were drag and drop,
and Copy then Paste within portfolio.Whichever I try now
I get the same message "Work could not paste this
information" - even when I try drag & drop. There wer
seven small pictures in the only collection, but I have
deleted them in case of space shortage.
Any ideas please?

How many items does your Works Portfolio contain?
How much memory do you have?
How much free disk space do you have?

Maybe the following will help

Thanks Paul, have tried the page of your URL even though
it was not the precise problem, but no joy.
Details: Portfolio cleared and empty; Free memory 781MB
(of 1GB); Free disc space 26GB (of 40GB). I can
drag&drop text o.k., but cannot drag&drop pics, the
cursor shows the case with '+' but as soon as I drop I
get the message 'Works could not paste this information'!
Same message when I r.click pic, & copy. Checking
afterwards confirms there was no copying done.
Could there be a connection with advice from an MVP to
enable pasting between Word/website/etc.; and to speed
up normal opening of Word, to remove the link '...Works 6
link to Word..' in Add/Remove D.Box? If so, I prefer the
benefits of the latter.
If there is nothing else to try may I say thanks for your
trouble so far.

I have no further suggestions. You might try the works newsgroup

Thanks Paul, will try the Works newsgroup. If it comes
to it I prefer the benefits of removing the Works to Word
link, rather than having portfolio. Who knows - perhaps I
can have both!
