Cannot cut and paste in word 2004

I can no longer cut and paste from one Word document to another. Does anyone have a suggest?

Quit Word, move the Word associated preference lists out of your Preferences folder to the Desktop, relaunch Word, and see if the issue persists. If not, one or more of those moved files is corrupt. If so, then the app's corrupt and your should reinstall.

  • Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

    I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

    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?

  • Cut and paste from Word into Mail

    I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
    I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
    I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
    I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
    Any advice?

    Thanks, aqua*star -
    I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
    Mail preferences and messages
    Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
    To back up:
    Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
    Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
    Quit Mail if it's running.
    In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
    Open the Library folder.
    Open the Preferences folder.
    Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
    Close the Preferences folder.
    Open the Mail folder.
    Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
    Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
    Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
    To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
    It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...

  • Cannot cut and paste

    In the mail program, I have recently been unable to click and drag emails from the inbox to other mailboxes and then after discovering that, I have been unable to copy and paste in Word 2004. I get an error message when using Word 2004 that says "Unable to complete this operation due to insufficient memory". What is going on? I definitely have enough memory.

    A walk around is to backup all sms to a .nbu then use Noki to convert/extract all sms entries to .vmg(vMessage) files.

  • I cannot cut and paste .rtf from a MS Word document to a web page.

    I am running a MAC desktop with version 10.5. I use MS Office for MAC. When I try and cut and paste from a .rtf file to an amateur writing site, I always get a timeout. Help please!

    Hi Sara.  Tanks for responding.  If I cannot figure this out (I  was up
    until 2am last night), I want to cancel my subscription.
    Here are two files you can check on/help me with.  When I try again,  it
    comes up 'an error has occurred when trying to access the service.'
    Please advise.

  • Cannot cut and paste text completely in Pages

    I tried cutting and pasting some text from Safari--about 9 pages worth of text--to Pages, but it only pasted 2 pages. Is this a Snow Leopard problem? Or should I consider installing Word now?

    Have you tried any alternatives at all to really determine the problem, whatever it may be?
    Like pasting it into another program such as *TextEdit, Bean or iTextExpress* ?
    iTextExpress for a start gives you a pageless mode where there are no page margins to cut off extra wide content.
    Have you checked if the text has not popped somewhere, but actually is in Pages?
    Have you noticed at what point the text has broken off and if there is any special about that?
    Have you tried pasting it into a demo of Word to see if it actually is a solution?
    The Mac universe does extend beyond Pages and Word:

  • How to cut and paste long Word document into text generator?

    I have a very long list of attributions in a Word document.
    When I cut and paste it into the "Sample Text" area, it goes in fine.
    But when I try to look at it ... either as simple text or, preferred, scrolling ... I only get parts of the document.
    I can correct it by adding a 'return' in the middle of every few words.
    But my document is so long, it would take a long time to do that one by one.
    Solutions sought: How to just import the whole document and have it scroll, zip-zip?!

    Thank you DH and skalaki, I had not known of the Boris title generator. Funny, I had looked in the FCE online manual until 'titling' and editing text ... didn't see mention of that.
    In any case ... I've now found it and trust I'll be able to figure it out.
    Since skalaki was first with the answer, I awarded the 'solved' there. DH's comments were further helpful.

    Many of the windows conventions are similar, but substitute use of the  Command key for Alt key in windows when using a Mac..

  • Cannot cut and paste text messages (SMS)

    Hi,
    need help from you guys.
    i usually cut and paste my messages from nokia pc suite->inbox
    into another folder that i created. usually, every single SMS will create a file with the extension .vmg
    From here i will import into nokia life blog to make it easier for me to read.
    Unfortunately, i can no longer cut and paste. When i clicked paste inside a folder, nothing happened. I have also tried using copy-paste but still no luck. Im not sure its because of my OS or the nokia pc suite itself.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you in advance
    btw, this is my spec
    MS Vista Ultimate (build 6000)
    Nokia Pc Suite 6.84.10.3

  • I cannot "cut and paste" a link in Firefox RC-1, I can in the body of the page but not the actual link location at the top of the browser

    I just found I can't repeat the problem, when I opened a new tab and submitted this question to you, the cut and paste of the links now work when I returned to the original page. I had tried it on at least 4 different links earlier.

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • Cannot Cut and Paste From Excel

    I am trying to simply cut and paste from Excel into the Xcelsius spreadsheet. Even though the user manual indicates to copy from Excel and right click where you want to paste, the Paste and Paste Special functions are greyed out. It is almost like the cells are locked or protected somehow. I selected Formal Cells -> Protection and unlocked the cells but still nothing. Any ideas? Excel 2007

    Hi,
    It seems your workbook was locked. Try the following... it might help you.
    I know some of you out there have hit this problem in the past and now we have a workaround...
    If you try to add/remove/modify a worksheet in the Xcelsius embedded Excel and you can't do it.
    1. Start to unprotect the workbook:
    Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.
    Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.
    2. You will be prompted for a password.
    3. This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):
    fazOh1+u
    4. Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.
    Let me know if still your problem exists.
    Regards,

  • Very curious-cannot cut and paste

    Well that about says it all. After using Captivate 2 for
    about a week, cutting/copying and pasting to my hearts content,
    suddenly that option is not available anymore. After rebooting and
    bringing up Captivate 2 again I saw that I could paste. (I don't
    know what I could paste, I just rebooted and didn't copy anything.)
    Choosing paste didn't paste anyting into my slide. After rebooting
    a second time I continued to not have copy/cut available and now
    lost paste. I simply want to cut and paste again. Any
    ideas/suggestions?

    Reboot and try again.

  • Cannot cut and paste covers into the Get Info

    After upgrading to iTunes 10.4 I can no longer cut and paste album cover artwork into the Get Info wondoe for either songs or albums. It worked perfectly before this.

    Hi Patys,
    I have already posted the solution twice and you can read it by scrolling up in this topic!

  • Still cannot cut and paste - all instructions are way too technical for avg user trying to fix the problem. Need step by step instructions.

    Firefox is not enabling me to cut and paste when I'm working on my business website. I can tried the key commands and they didn't work either. The instructions that were linked for Changing the preferences in Firefox were very complicated and even when I thought I found the correct place to add the user_pref lines to allow clipboard, the message was DO NOT MODIFY THIS PAGE.
    I didn't want to add or change anything for fear of screwing this up.
    What I need are step by step instructions. Really baby steps. How to find the profile and the js.file, what is text editor? If you could take instruct from start to finish that would be great.
    Thank You!

    Use the keyboard shortcuts if the buttons on the web page or other methods aren't working.
    * Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command + C)
    * Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command + V)
    * Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command + X)
