Webuser Forums: Copy and Paste stopped working from web or email to Word???

This is an additional posting to the copy and paste problem with Word. I have the Works program still active on this computer from the package that came with the original purchase. I activated Works, loaded Yahoo Mail into another window and opened Works to a New Document. I copied from Yahoo Email; then, instantly pasted into the new Works document. I did copy and paste for about half and hour with no problems in Works. I thought something might have been changed in Word due to my loading of the Works software; however, when I tried to copy from email and paste into the any Word document (existing or new), three words did paste after about a minute. If I tried a couple of sentences, Word always stopped responding, shut the program completely down without asking and the error page would be sent to Microsoft.
Anyway, back to the temporary Works thing, I built up several pages of Works, saved the document then opened it up in Word. The Works program is only a basic wordprocessor; therefore, when I opened the document in Word, it took a long time to correct all the errors (LOL). I saved the document as a Word file and it prints and opens fine from Word. I know it must be the Word program settings that is causing this copy and paste problem??? HELP!!!
Thank you all again.
Steve
