When i am on different webpages and i try to copy information (URLs, data, links etc) from the webpage and try to paste it into either email messages, MS Outlook 2003 or a MS Word 2003 document, it will not paste. Not sure if this is a Firefox problem or a MS Office problem. It worked fine until about 2 days ago. Now it won't do it at all - have tried from several different webpages, different types of data, different types of desinations (documents, email, etc)

== noticed it about 2-3 days ago. No changes made to the system.

What happens if you try to paste into Notepad?

Also, when you paste into Word, does any data paste at all? Try copying from this forum reply into Word to make sure the problem is with all sites. (Here is some bold text and italic text you can try copying)

You do have an old version of Firefox, so you should try upgrading to the newest release from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox

Thanks for the great suggestions. Nothing was pasting into Word at all or into the email messages. I had not thought to try Notepad. I did try it from multiple sites - same result. However, after 3 days of not being able to do it - I rebooted the system (for the nth time) and it now seems to be working. Bizarre... thanks for your help.
