Cutting and Pasting of text

BobMartin · External Since: May 28, 2005 Posts: 2

I am attempting to cut and past text from Word files and and Notebook files.
I select the text, key CTRL C, go to Publisher file, the desired spot in a
text box, and key CTRL V to paste.
Publisher keeps pasting a graphic I had prviously pasted.
This shoul;d be the simplest thing to do.
What am I doing wrong?

When you paste, go to Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text

I am having this problem too! I emptied the clipboard. I special pasted, as
unformatted text. But the ghost of old text keeps repasting! I have used
publisher before - this is a new problem I have never seen before, showing up
in the middle of laying out a newsletter. It's brought my work to a HALT.
What can I do? Amy
