From 4 days ago I suddenly couldn\u2019t do what I have always done \u2013 highlight and copy\/paste part or a whole web document containing text and images into Word 2007 (Windows XP).<\/p>\n
Not being able to download information (a daily occurrence) is driving me mad……so if anyone can HELP I\u2019m open to some suggestions. Print screening and pasting via paint is too long winded!<\/p>\n
The problem in detail: using IE I used to open a document, decide on what was useful, highlight it, then using the keyboard \u2018Ctrl-c\/Ctrl-v\u2019 copy and paste it into a word (or occasionally a PowerPoint document). The same action now gives me text only \u2013 all in black Arial size 10 font (my standard for my own documents) \u2013 no images\/photos, titles, headings, colour, or any formatting of the original document what-so-ever.<\/p>\n
No-one has touched my computer and I have not changed any settings or fiddled with it – I have now spent hours trawling the net where I have found people encountering similar problems and have I tried the following:<\/p>\n
1. Microsoft diagnostic repair……one item fixed…..restarted computer……problem not solved.<\/p>\n
2. Print layout is on ……I have never needed to alter it.<\/p>\n
3. Word Options, Display, Printing options, \u2018Print dwgs created in word\u2019……checked.<\/p>\n
4. Word Options, Advanced, Show doc content, \u2018Show field contents instead of their values\u2019……clear (not checked).<\/p>\n
5. Paragraph settings are all as before……no change there.<\/p>\n
6. IE Tools, Internet Zone, Security setting, \u2018Drag & Drop or copy and paste files\u2019……enabled.<\/p>\n
7. Clicking \u201cDisable all macros without notifications\u201d OK……doesn\u2019t solve problem.<\/p>\n
8. I\u2019ve tried \u2018Run\u2019 \u201cc:\\programfiles\\microsoftoffice\\office12\\winword.exe\u201d\/safe also on the \u2018e\u2019 drive……not really comfortable with this – but nothing happened as the program couldn\u2019t be found.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m now at a loss and this frustrated Silver Blonde would really appreciate help from some genius computer guru.<\/p>\n
Many thanks<\/p>\n
