command boxes from menu

[claudia]

I was working on word 2003, I had copied a portion of an online ebook to
paste onto a new document, when I did right click to paste it on the doc. the
command box appears outlined, no word commands, it's like a ghost. I then
went to the menu at the top to Edit and find paste to do it from there and
the same thing appeared; an outline of the command box, no word commands,
it's like a ghost. I tried to pretend the words were there just not visible
and moved my cursor to the position in which I thought paste was and clicked
but nothing happened. Has anybody ever had this problem? any suggestions?
