leahcarn Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I wrote a big long post, and I've included quotes from my previous postings in it (as plain text) I can copy text out of the forum into a word document, but not back into the gap where you write text for a post.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted September 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm not sure why you'd be having problems. I just tried it, copying your post above and pasting it into Word, then copying that and pasting it as if I were going to post it, and it worked fine. I did notice, if I clicked the Paste button above, it popped up a window that I had to paste into, and then it pasted it into the reply field -- something about browser security not allowing access directly to my clipboard. But when I used ctrl-v or right clicked and hit paste, it worked fine. Maybe do everything you're going to do in Word, then try refreshing your browser before you try to paste from Word to the forum?

leahcarn Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks for your feedback Shannon, I had another play around, and when I right click in the comment box, my "paste" option is greyed out. Maybe it is a browser setting thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2014 I can't copy and paste at all on my work computer and when I try to "quote" someone else's post it doesn't work at all. However on my iPad and my husbands desktop at home it all works perfectly. Must be a setting somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Copy & paste issues can sometimes be resolved by a reboot. These functions are part of the operating system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I just reformatted my laptop and am now having this problem too, only on these forums, pasting into the post-window. I'm running the latest Windows with the latest IE. I can't paste normally, but I found a workaround. Hit the BB Code Mode button Paste Click the button again I get the option to paste, but nothing comes out. I can paste the same content in other places, just not here.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2015 I couldn't copy and paste at work, couldn't quote and there were a couple other functions that appeared but didn't work. Switched from IE to Chrome and everything is ticking along perfectly now. Worth a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
