Word 2010 - I can only paste as plain text. Paste with source formatting is mising.

I am using Word 2010 (version 14.0.7143.5000).
I started writing a document with different formatting/styles.  If I copy formatted text from this document and try to do a paste special, I only have the option to paste as un-formatted plain text.  My different paste options are gone.  This
used to work.
I have performed Windows Update patches recently.  I do not have Skype or any Skype plug-ins installed that I am aware of.  I tried running Word in safe mode and without any web browsers open.
Any ideas?

I eventually figured out the problem.  The problem was not in Word or a setting within Word.  The problem was that I had other programs open that were modifying the data in the clipboard, specifically Windows Remote Desktop and Tight VNC viewer.
 They were converting the data in the clipboard to plain text without my knowledge.  So once I closed VNC and change Remote Desktop not to share the clipboard between machines, the data in the clipboard kept its formatting and the different Paste
options in Word returned.  Hopefully this information will help others with this problem.

  • 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?

  • Exchange 2010 - Outlook can only open 8 other users' calendars

    I have a company that I moved to Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2003 recently. The old Exchange 2003 server has been removed from the organization. They have 30 mailboxes on a single server. Everything has been running smoothly but I have just discovered an issue.
    In this office there is one person who coordinates meetings, decides who uses what conference room for a given meeting, etc. She has full access to all of the other users' mailboxes. With Exchange 2003 she could access all of the other users' calendars simultaneously and would view them in overlay mode in Outlook 2003 and/or Outlook 2007.
    With Exchange 2010 she can only view the first 8 calendars she clicks on. If she tries to open a 9th calendar Outlook responds with the error message "The set pf folders could not be opened."
    I don't believe it to be a rights issue as she can open any 8 calendars upon first running Outlook. To access any others she has to uncheck one or more of the calendars previously selected, exit Outlook, restart Outlook and select different users calendars.
    This is only happening with Exchange 2010 - I've tested it on my Exchange 2007 server and another client's Exchange 2003 server and one can open as many other users calendars as there are.
    Is this a known limitation of Exchange 2010 or a new bug? Any workarounds?

    I'm betting that you have met the Exchange 2010 throttling policy......
    Take a read through this post please, the section on throttling:

  • TS2634 I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones.

    I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones. I haven't had this problem before. I upgraded about a week ago, but this is the first time the sound has been an issue. When I turn up the volume it shows that it is the volume for the headphones but I can't figure out how to adjust the volume for everything. I have rebooted.

    Also try this if above doesn't work.
    1. Plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times.
    2. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound.

  • Does anyone know why I can only get sound and no video with a compatible component cable?

    Does anyone know why I can only get sound and no video with a compatible component cable?

    What apps are you trying?  TV out video only works with apps that support TV out.  If the app does not support TV out you will still get aoudio via the component cable

    my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
    cheers!

    The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library.  You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
    Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right?  You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor.  It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors.  Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

    I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor.  It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors.  Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

    Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
    Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
    However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • How can u insert and retrieve text files in any format using forms6i.

    how can u insert and retrieve text files in any format using forms6i.
    can u give me an example of an insert statement, let's assume the file is located in the a:drive.
    and retrieving the files, i would give the user a list of all the files that are in the database, the user would select one, but what command(or piece of code) would open the file in its apppropriate editor.
    e.g .pdf formatted file would open in acrobat.
    any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Hussein Saiger

    the filereference class is for downloading and uploading files.
    if you want to load xml, use the xml class.
    and, if you want to write to an xml file and don't want to use server-side code, wait.

  • HP 722C prints blank pages from Word 2010 But can print successfully from Internet Explorer 9

    I installed the patch from HP for my printer.  I can print successfully from IE 9.  However, blank pages are all I get when printing documents from Microsoft word 2010.  My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit. home premium  I do not get any error messages when printing.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • How come I can only paste 1 email at a time into ipad mail?

    I am trying to paste a comma delimited list of emails ([email protected], [email protected]) into the "to" field on the native mail app on my iPad 2.
    Is there anyway to keep it from combining the pasted email addresses as one contact?
    Can only copy/paste 1 email address at a time into those fields (to, cc, bcc)?

    I am also trying to paste multiple emails into either field and it isn't working; what the ****? If this is the case I will return this junk. No wise *** comments saying 'iPad isn't a emailing device' please.

  • On photobucket, I can only view low resolution pictures but with google chrome, I see full size pictures.

    When I view pictures on photobucket, whether they're mine or someone else's, I can only see low resolution pictures. I load pictures on photobucket with a resolution of about 900x750 but fire fox only shows them at about 125x125. Google chrome shows full resolution pictures.
    This started with the last firefox update, about 1-2 months ago.

    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.<br \>
    A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").<br \>
    Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.<br \>
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.<br \>
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.<br \>

  • How can I fix app downloading issues?  Can only load/update apps via sync with laptop.

    I cannot download, reload,or update my Apps via Wifi. I can only accomplish this by syncing the phone via iTunes and laptop via cable. When I choose to install or update I get a "waiting" message indefinitely.

    Issue solved. I found that there was a PodCast that had not finished downloading for some reason. I deleted the PodCast app and all PodCast downloads and Apps download fine now.

  • I can only get or send text messages to other iMessage users

    I am not able to receive text messages from people unless they are on IMessage.  Several people have told me they have sent me texts but I am not getting them.  Also, people are not getting my texts.  This has happened since I got my iPhone 4s.

    Yes contact your provider, you most likely do not have texting turned on, they can turn it off,mine is,I can only use i message but wanted it that way, because I do not care to have to pay for the messages people send me
    with i message it is free

  • Why can't I print "plain text"

    When I receive email in plain text it prints in random numbers and letters. If I use Internet explorer there is no problem

    Try using the Print Preview and see if those text messages display properly there. If so, try to Print from that Preview window and see if it prints properly.
    orange Firefox button > Print -> Print Preview
