sylvest Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) If I'm writing a message like this one, and I want to insert some text that is presently in a Notepad file, or on another web site, I select the text, press CTRL/C, put my cursor in the message box and press CTRL/V. Nothing happens. If I click the Paste button, still nothing happens. What is going on? How do I insert such text into a message? Are you telling me that I have to retype everything? Surely the clipboard was invented to eliminate such tedious tasks. Why won't it work for me? It seems to be the paste function rather than the copy that is refusing to work, because I can perfectly well paste the copied text into another Windows document - just not into this forum... I hope you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks - Rowan Edited April 9, 2017 by sylvest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 It seems to be the paste function rather than the copy that is refusing to work, because I can perfectly well paste the copied text into another Windows document - just not into this forum... I just copied and pasted the above from your post using CTRL/C and CTRL/V without having to retype it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylvest Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Bruce, Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't solve the problem. I have just tried again to copy something from the previous message and paste it, and it does nothing. But then I had a thought - maybe this is a browser problem. So I fired up Firefox, and lo and behold, it works, So there is something about IE11 (or the way I've got it configured) that is stopping "paste" working. Thank you Microsoft. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be, or how to get around it? Meanwhile I will try to remember to use Firefox when I am connecting to the TCH forum in future... Thanks - Rowan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 See if this helps: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/internet-explorer-11-cannot-use-copy-paste-within/5b4489fc-9208-45d9-ac1d-b027fc494e7d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylvest Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Well, it sort of helps. Thanks for providing this link. But I think my most straightforward answer is to remember to use Firefox or Chrome if I want to access the TCH forum. Of course I will usually forget this until I find that I can't paste :-(.
