Office 2010 - Copy, Cut, and Paste not working

Firstly, I am on a corporate domain and most of our users are using Windows 7 with the Office 2010 suite, both of which contain the most current updates. My problem is that some users are unable to copy and paste from one application to another.
For instance, User A is unable to copy or cut cells from Excel by either right-clicking and selecting the option, or by keyboard shortcuts and then pasting into another area of the same document or any other document like notepad. User
B, cannot complete the same operation in Outlook from email to email or from email to lets say, Word.
However, and it's a big HOWEVER, none of this happens while the browser is closed. I have seen this with all three of the major browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. So all functionality comes back with the copy and paste once the browser
is closed, and if you reopen the browser the problem reappears as if the browser takes over the clipboard.
If anyone has a solution or suggestion your feedback would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Kris

Pages iPad Cut and Paste not working right in latest update

First -- everything on my iPad is up to date with iOS and Pages update...and everything has been rebooted and works just fine...
BUT -- new problem...anytime I select a paragraph and cut and paste, it places it in a text box, resizes it, and inserts this text box into the document where I paste. That then remains as it's own section and not a part of the larger document.
Did something go wrong? Did I miss some setting to turn off? I don't want anything I copy and paste to be put in its own text box, merely to paste it into the same document in a different place.
What went wrong here?....

If you want to paste text in with other text, you need the cursor/caret to be in text when you paste (keyboard should be up on screen). Sounds like you do not have the keyboard up, so it's creating a new text box for you.

Cut and Paste not working for specific client?

Gui Gurus,
I have recently upgraded some users to Gui 710 Patch 8. However on one users install, she cannot copy and paste the entire content of a cell. For example:
If she copies aaaabbbbbccccdddd, she'll only get aaaabbbbbcccc. For some reason it gets truncated.
I have tried this on my identical install and can do the exact same cut and paste for the same input field fine. I did a reinstall of her Gui, but that did not help. I checked her user parameters and could not find anything to alter this behavior. I tried "Quick Cut and Paste" also, and that yielded the same incorrect results. I did not see anything else in the Options / I18N that would alter this?
Any ideas where to look?
Thanks,
Jeff Martens

Martin,
Thanks for the reply. I did try the cut & paste option in the expert tab and that did not work.
I am copying from a normal user input field to another input field. This is not static text that you would have to CTRL+Y to copy.
Thanks,
Jeff

Cut and paste not working in iphoto

I can't cut and paste between events in iPhoto any longer. i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out. how can you move photos between events. i tried dragging but page didn't scroll very well so was a little inefficient

I see, in the "Photos" album I cannot cut and paste either. I can cut the photo from the event, but not paste it into a different event, because It is impossible to select the event for pasting in the Photos album.
@ Terence Devlin, is pasting into an event supposed to work inside the Photos album?
I can paste into an event in the Events view. And dragging and dropping between events is working well in the Photos view.
i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out.
This cannot work in Photos view, because "Add flagged items to the selected event" requires an event to be selected, an in the Photos album is no selected event. You can create a new event from the flagged photos and drag this event on top of the event where you want them to go.
So, I am afraid you will have to switch between the Photos album and the Events view to move your photos around.

Cut and Paste not working on Mountain Lion

I downloaded Mountain Lion on the first day of its release, upgrading from Lion. Ever since then My cut and paste functions havent been working. It would function after the first 10 to 15 minutes, but soon after that time passes, I am unable to copy/cut paste anything either via the mouse or typing commands. This is very frustrating. I would have to shtdown and turn the computer back on just to get the function back temporarily. Does anyone have a solution for this?!
Also, I just updated my Mountain Lion to 10.8.1 as of yesterday, and its still happening!!
Lastly, I verified permissions and reinstalled the OS, still happening...

1. Open Disk Utility and repair the permissions
2. Go to Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences and delete com.apple.dock.plist

Cut and paste not working in (total)finder

Hi all
I have noticed an issue with my cut and paste option on my macbook pro since I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I used to be able to cut items from a folder and paste into another folder quite efficiently. It's fine when I copy and paste, however this means I need to go back and delete the items I have pasted.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Meera

Hi CT and meera404,
I am having the same problem of not being able to perform "command-x" and "command-v" (cut & paste) in Finder on Mac OS X 10.8.2.
When I go into the Finder menu options and click on the "Edit" tab menu, it appears that the "Cut" button is not available and appears as disabled.
Any suggestions on how I can enable this?
Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Cut and paste not working

Cut and Paste functionality has stopped working, even after a Restart, in both Numbers and Pages. OS is Mavericks 10.9.2.

I can paste a .jpg object into a Pages document, but can't cut and paste text blocks. When I select and execute "Cut" (either via keyboard or menu), the "Paste" function does nothing (although it might be inserting a single space character). This failure to "Paste" also exists in the TextEdit app.
In Numbers the problem exists both for text blocks and for cells.
This has happened in the past, but seemed to be corrected with a Restart of the OS. Not this time.

Cut and paste not working on linux?

Hi,
I am a beginning user of Jdeveloper. I noticed that I can cut and paste to and from my windows applications to my Jdev on linux, but is unable to cut and paste from emacs or xterm to and from Jdev on the same linux box. Is there a simple configuration somewhere that I forgot to set?
Now, I must use my windows notepad as a middleman to do cut and paste...really inconvenient.
Thanks,
Gigi

Office 2010 Outlook Search and Indexing not working

Hello,
I'm hoping someone may be of assistance as this has been plaguing my outlook for some time now.
Problem:
When attempting to search for any emails via the search bar, it appears as if it is attempting to search, but I receive no results.
Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1
Office 2010 Service Pack 2
Connected to Office 365 Exchange
In services Windows Search service is not running, though Automatic (Delayed Start is selected), I attempted starting the service but it returned with an error saying it started and then stopped.
In Outlook options > Search > Indexing Options > the service is shown as "Indexing is not Running" and the list of indexed folders is empty. Everything else is grayed
out except "Advance Tab" which only has one button available called "Rebuild", everything else is grayed out.
I am aware this question was asked a few years back but the linked articles referenced are no longer working.
Though I seem to be having a similar problem and any assistance and new suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Please check if you can search mailbox in OWA. If OWA works well, the issue is related Outlook.
If it is the same issue in OWA, in Exchange 2013, you can use the following command to check the content index state of the mailbox database where this user is.
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | fl name, contentindex*
If the content index status is Failed, please try to reseed the search catalog. After that, please rebuild the index in Outlook to check the result.
If you are using Office 365, I recommend you ask this question in Office 365 forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of this problem. You might get a better answer there.

I can not use copy cut and paste in certain website email

When using a college web site, I can not copy, cut, and paste.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Clipboard_not_working
A likely cause is the website email uses a rich text editor, in which case you should be able to enable copy/paste by following the instructions in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard

Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

In what way is Firefox slow?
Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

Does webmail have no copy, cut and paste features?

The automated agent was of no use. My old ATT webmail would let me cut and past using IE or Windows controls, but at least had their own cut and paste commands. Not being able to copy, cut and paste when composing e-mails is a MAJOR hassle.
And if anyone knows how to enable links, HTML, etc, in webmail, please let me know.

What browser are you using? CTRL + C, CTRL + X, and CTRL + V are all working fine for me, and I would assume their equivalent Edit menu commands work as well...
Also, which version of webmail are you in?

How do i copy, cut and paste on firefox

How can I copy cut and paste on firefox? I have windows 8! Please Help !!!!!!

You should just be able to perform these functions as you do in any application by doing one of the following:
* Select some content, right-click your selection and select 'Copy' or 'Cut' from the menu. To paste, right-click in a text area or input field and select 'Paste'.
* Select some content and press Ctrl+C to copy or Ctrl+X to cut. To paste, click in an input field or text area and press Ctrl+V.
In webpages you cannot cut content that is not in a text area or input field, and you cannot paste to somewhere other than a text area or input field. Some sites also use preventative measures to stop (or at least hinder - there is usually some way around it) copying (often to prevent plagiarism).
