Can't cut & paste from Firefox into MS Word 2010, but can using MS Internet Explorer

Updated Firefox to most recent version, then installed MS Office 2010 with MS Word 2010. Then attempted to copy and paste a selection from the internet using Firefox as the browser, but when MS Word 2010 was opened, all paste functions were greyed out and non-functioning. Eventually, I closed Firefox and opened MS Internet Explorer to browse the internet and attempted the same copy and paste on the same selection of text on the internet, but when MS Word 2010 was opened, all of the paste functions worked. Seems like MS is blocking the text copy and paste function in MS Word unless the internet browser is MS Internet Explorer. The previous version of MS Word was 2007 and it functioned the same for both Firefox and MS Internet Explorer when internet text selections were copied and pasted into a MS Word document. Operating system is Windows XP with all service packs.

I am having the same problem after upgrading to MS Office 2010. I used to be able to drag a snippet of text from any PDF file to Excel with no problem...now I am unable to do that. What happened?

  • Browsing history is set to "delete on exit" from Firefox however cookies and history are still listed in Internet Explorer - which I never use. Why??

    Firefox is set to delete browsing history on exit. Appears to be working fine. However, if I open Internet Explorer - after closing Firefox - my cookies and history are listed in Internet Explorer. I have to go to Tools >Options> Internet History and delete everything manually. (Internet Explorer is also set to delete history on exit.
    Why are my cookies and history being transferred from Firefox to Internet Explorer?

    Thanks cor-el for the reply.
    Do not have any MS plugins that I'm aware of. No Silverlight,etc.
    How can I tell if Windows Media player is plugged in to FF?
    No IE View or IE tab.
    Not a major problem because I can go in and delete manually--minor hassle.
    Have had the same problem across several FF updates. Just curious why this is happening.

  • How do I preserve a website's fonts when I copy and paste from Firefox into Word?

    I often paste copy from websites when I am researching. In Safari, the fonts and font sizes of the copy are preserved, but when I do it in Firefox, they are changed to the same size of Verdana. I prefer the fonts to be retained from the websites, but I can't get Firefox to do this.

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".<br />

  • I cannot copy and paste from Word 2007 into Firefox (gmail), and I cannot copy and paste from Firefox (URLs) into a word document.

    Starting two days ago, I can no longer copy and paste between Firefox and Word 2007. I can copy within each program.

    I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

    On the page where you enter username and password after entering and pressing "Log in" the page just stays in place. If you look at the error log you see
    "Warning: Unknown property 'border-radius'. Declaration dropped.

    URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !

    == a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

    Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
    Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

  • Can i access Internet Explorer using firefox?

    The website I need to access says it will only accept Internet Explorer. Can I download Internet Explorer from Firefox?

    Your best bet is probably to get a copy of the Windows operating system. The other option is a hardware emulator which most non technical users won't choose. A hardware emulator is not guaranteed to work either. If you do a search on Google for Wine HQ you will find Wine one of the most popular hardware emulators.

  • Where can I get the plug in for firefox so I can view like internet explorer...

    where can I get the plug in for firefox so I can view like internet explorer...

    There are 2 versions of the add-on, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2]. They both perform the same function of opening Internet Explorer inside a Firefox tab, the main difference between the two is that IE Tab Plus also supports the Adblock Plus add-on being used inside the IE tab and can synchronize cookies.

    hey i have a iphone 4s 64gb but and using the internet share .. how can i change the nat type from strict to open please help me

    You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
    What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.
