I am unable to get the "paste" function to work after
copying something from any document outside MS Word
itself. The function worked flawlessly until about a week
ago, when the completion of the "paste" function began to
be agonizingly slow. Yesterday, the "paste" function
failed to complete the "paste" at all.

The copied text shows on the clipboard, but when
the "paste" icon, or from any other "paste" function key,
is selected, the hourglass appears, MS Word freezes, and I
have to shut down MS Word to regain control of MS Word.

Re-starts, unplugging from all power sources, disk clean-
ups, none of these correct the problem. Help is needed.
Thanks.
 
Does paste work outside of Word in other programs, on your
desktop, etc?? What version of Word? If it only happens
in Word and you have 2000, or XP, try running a repair
with in Word, or simply uninstal and reinstall Word.
Otherwise you need to ask this of the Word, or Office
newsgroups.
 
Thanks. I have done detect and repair, re-install,
configure, the problem persists. What is Word newsgroup?
 
Word newsgroup is a newsgroup that is specifically for Microsoft Word, and
can be found under the Office umbrella.

You still didn't answer the question does the operation
work outside of Word? If not, then we have an issue with
something other than Word.
