Any computer whizzkids? Having a problem with 'Word'

5 replies

Have copied and pasted a document from Microsoft Publisher to Word.

For some reason I can only see the document if I do 'file' 'print preview'. If in normal mode the screen is white.

Apparently this is a 'restriction' issue but when I check the permissions the 'no restriction' box is checked!

Arghghghg

Any ideas? Thanks!

I use both of those & regularly cut & paste Publisher to word BUT have never come across that problem. Sorry - but bumping this up for you.

Have you looked at View on the top left hand Word menu and selected 'normal'? Try it. Or try pasting as 'paste special' and paste 'unformatted text'?

Where's hub when you need him??

He's here, bubb, relax.

erm... www 'paste special' excellent advice. Did that work ?

Or Edit / Select All / Format / Font and make sure the colour of the text isn't white !!!

Finally, try pasting the text via something else - like notepad etc. and go from notepad to word.
