When I copy and paste from net to office...all I get is an empty box...not a red box just an empty box

This started somewhere around Jan. I use to be able to copy/paste straight from net and now I cannot
My cache and temp are empty.
Word is opened long before I even log onto the ne
I can copy/paste text...but no graphics
I tried to save target as...but when you open target from c: you still get the same resul

Heres the goofy thing...I can copy/paste to wordpad...then copy/paste from wordpad to office with no problem at all. Works great. So, why can basic ol' wordpad produce a positive result and then copy/paste to office....but Office can't do it at all

This leads me to believe it's an office issue and not an xp issue...however, I have done simple searches and found this same concern only with XP users...goofy...any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
If it's the pictures you're trying to save, instead of using "sav
target as," use "save picture as." This will save the image in a
image file. You can then place it where you like.

For text, I usually got to "Edit" to "Paste Special" and choos
"Unformatted Text" rather than just pasting . . . this strips the htm
formatting and allows me to make my document look the way I want it t
look
 
I'm starting to believe that it is a Microsoft XP issue rather than office. I took the same office program upstairs on different computer using Win98 and copy / paste worked fine. No problems at all...Maybe this is a bug XP will identify in the next couple of months

If any other ideas I'd be thrilled to try it

Thanks.
