Default Pasting a file into Word 2003

I have a small problem. I have two pc's - 1 can do this, one can't. I
have a document that has a table in it where I can paste a whole
document (not the text, the document itself) into the existing word
document. For the pc that can't do this, I've uninstalled and
reinstalled office, added all of the features for word and even created
a new profile on the pc. I logged into the pc under my user id and I
have the same problem. On the second pc, it's no problem pasting the
whole document into the table. What could possibly be causing the
problem with this one pc?

Thanks

Does it give an error message or what happens?

No it doesn't. It just gives a blank space where it should have copied
the file.

Well, you can't do that. You can select the file using Insert | File, or you
can open the file and copy all its content and then paste into another
document, but you can't paste a file into a document.

Robert -

Yes. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm copying the actual file
(****.doc) and trying to put in into the table in the word document. I
can do it on one pc, but not another. I'm thinking settings may be
wrong?

Thanks
Lou

Define "paste a whole document" -- what exactly are you doing (copying
the file in (Windows) Explorer and pasting it into the table cell)?
