I have a four-month old desktop computer running XP Home SP1. I use
the copy and paste commands quite a bit when using the computer, and have
noticed a peculiar glitch since I got this new machine. It's somewhat
awkward to explain, so let me give an example:
I notice some text on the Internet I'd like to copy and paste to a
Microsoft Word 2002 document. With Windows 95, 98 or ME, I'd first copy the
text, open up Word, and paste the text there. Simple and easy. But when I
try that procedure on my XP computer with Word 2002, the paste command will
not work. Instead, I have to first open Word, go back and copy the text,
and THEN the paste command works. With other programs like Notepad and
WordPad the old procedure still functions.
Obviously, this isn't a big deal, but I'd like to know if this nuisance
could be fixed.
