cannot copy from one pub to another

[redheadedpamela]

all of a sudden, i cannot copy and paste from one ms pub publication to
another ms pub publication.

here's what i've done:

i ran disk cleanup.
i ran norton live update.
i ran windows update.
i ran office 2000 update.
i ran detect and repair inside help in pub 2000.
none of the above helped.

you said "is clipboard set to automatic in computer services?" can you tell
me where computer services is? i looked in control panel, administrative
tools, component services and computer management. I ended up in console
root, component services, computers, my computer, found ms pub, and checked
the properties. under security tab, i made sure all were default settings.

i can't believe something like this has brought me nearly to tears. i have
used pub almost exclusively for the past 7 years, and i have hundreds of
files, lots of art work, many publications, etc. now i'm to the point i
can't even think.

do you have any other suggestions?
thank you,
pam

Hi,

No need to start another thread for the
same subject...that gets confusing. Just
take a deep breath and hang on. I suspect
someone will come up with a solution.

Are you running Win XP? I think I would
try doing a system restore to a date before
this issue began.

(306084) HOW TO: Restore the Operating
System to a Previous State in Windows XP

If that fails, I would try uninstalling / reinstalling
Publisher.

Good luck...
