I can't seem to paste text from other Word file into any my my Word file, i.e. I cannot transfer text from one file into another. I can copy the necessary text but when I paste, nothing happens. I have not turned on the Protect Document Function and I have checked to see that it is not on.

From Word into other applications? How about if you hold down CTRL to start Word in "safe mode"? Can you copy/paste while in Safe mode?

Re: I can't paste text from another word file into my word files Euchinho 28.09.2006 14:41:02 Hi, Strangely enough, I can import text from powerpoint into word. Not tried the safe mode option as not sure how to do it. On checking further, it would appear that only this one file is affected. I also cannot copy and paste text from this file into another word file (nor copy and paste text from another file into this one) I have tried saving the file under a different name but to no avail. This is a really important file and I need to be able to salvage it. Any suggestions? Thank you "Cindy M." wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi =?Utf-8?B?RXVjaGluaG8=?=, > > > Microsoft Word 2003.

Note: Word 2003 supports a special kind of protection called IRM. This lets the document be protected in special ways. If the file has been protected in this manner, then only the person who created the file, or to whom full permissions were granted, will be able to do "everything" with it. I'm assuming you'd know if this kind of protection has been applied?
