Copying & pasting from another application

Question

When I was using Dreamweaver CS3, I had no problems copying
and pasting content from a word document, everything came over even
the links... now every time I copy and paste from Word to
Dreamweaver CS4, I get an error message "error occured while
processing input" - why does this happen and how can I get all the
content to copy over properly including links? This also happens
when I copy and paste from an email note and it didn't with CS3.
Also, I find it more diffucult to put in background images
into table cells, center text.. etc.. I do not like the new methods
of formatting documents.. CS3 was much better. I have been using
Dreamweaver since the beginning, over 10 years ago and this is the
worst upgrade ever.

Answer 1

I have Office 2002.. I never had this issue when I used CS3
of Dreamweaver. This just doesn't happen with word, even when I
copy and paste from an email into CS4, I get the same error message
(it doesn't crash). It just says 'error occured while processing
input'. I click on ok and the text comes in but none of the
formatting (links etc). This is rather annoying. I'd go back to cs3
if cs4 hadn't cost so much.
When I used to add a background image in cs3, in the
properties window there is a place to add background image in a
table.. this feature is not present in the properties window of
cs4.
Another issue is something simple like centering text.. now I
have to create css to even center text!
