Useful key strokes lost

[offwego]

I used to be able to use a ctrl+c and ctrl+v to copy then paste in 'Word',
email, web sites etc. Recently I have lost this function and a ctrl+ c or v
justs deletes the highlighted text and substitutes a 'c' or a 'v'

Can anyone help?

Since this happens in two or more different apps, your
keyboard may have become defective. Try another KB.
If the problem continues, you will know it is in the OS,
not hardware or an app.

....thanks. I'll try and dig out another keyboard and test it.
