Pasting a file into Word 2003

Tony -

We don't use Norton here. There are no other add ins on the system.
Mine is no different from his but I can do it and he can't. Is there
anyone here that can help?

Thanks
Lou

I'm sorry, Lou, but I'm in danger of getting way out of my depth here and
don't know the answer. I suspect it is somehow related to OLE being disabled
but have no clue about how to check this or change it - or even if it
indicates some problem with your installation. Alternatively do you have
any AddIns (Norton, perhaps) which might cause this?

Yes. He had a paste special option and that didn't work either. There
were no other options available. Please advise.

Thanks

Sorry it took me a couple of days to get back to you. I will check to
see what the formats are and get you the information you need. I'll get
back to you Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks
Lou

I'm really not sure how much I can help but let's try and take it
slowly.

When you do a Paste Special:

(a) What is the default format selected?
(b) What other formats are available?

The problem occurs with any type of document I try to paste. The
problem occurs with Excel too. I would appreciate any further
information you may have.

Thanks

Hi Lou,

I'm not sure what to suggest. There have been issues with pasting
although I
haven't seen any recently but if you can paste other objects
normally
that
wouldn't seem to be it. There may be an option in Word that controls
this
but I don't know of any.

I'm scratching around for ideas - is this limited to particular
documents
or
can you not paste any word document into any other? - can you paste
files
into other applications, Excel say? - can you drag and drop files
from
Explorer into Word?

The table is the size of 1/2 the page. I tried doing paste special
and
that didn't work either. Like I said, I can do a normal paste of
the
document file itself on my pc, just not the other pc and all I do
on
mine is ctrl+V and it works.

Is it possible that it *is* pasting it but that the view is
somehow
constrained - perhaps by a fixed size table cell, or protection
of the
document? Can you paste special at all, and if so, what formats
are
presented?

Yes. I think it actually tries to paste but won't show the file
in
the
table. Yes, I can paste anything else in word, copy then paste
for
text
works with no problem as well. I can paste the file in
directories
anywhere on the computer, but nowhere else in the document. It
seems
to
be a problem with this pc for some reason.

Suzanne - I know it works, because I can do it on my PC without
a
problem. The other pc I try it on, won't let me do it.

Let me know if anyone needs any more information.

Thanks
Lou

When you say ...

It just gives a blank space where it should have copied the
file.

... do you mean something is actually pasted or does the
paste
just
not
work?

Can you paste anything else in Word?
Do you get any options if you Paste Special?
Can you paste the file somewhere else?

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

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.

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