Select the text you want to copy and copy it using the Control+C command. Go to the thread you want to post to, and when the post window is open, paste it using Control+V.

Others have suggested saving your Word file in Notepad, where only the text is saved, and then pasting that into the forum, to ensure no weird formatting things happen.

Hello LB

Sometimes pasting text directly from Word causes problems, as the formatting doesn't always convert very well.

For instance, it may be difficult for other users to quote (and therefore answer) your post.

To avoid this, you can paste your text first into Notepad, and then copy again from Notepad into the Reply box here.

It means you'll lose your formatting; but it may make your post easier to answer.

Have a good Sunday,

MrP

Yes, it works. Thank you Grammar Geek.
So you don't need exchange your browser!
Simply, copy the text and when you write a post use "Ctrl" + "V"

Does using "Control+V" instead of looking for "Paste" in the right mouse button work?

I know the reason. It is connected with your browser. Exchange your browser for Internet Explorer. It will help.

I have the same problem. It looks like the paste option is inaccessible for normal users.

I don't have any more suggestions, but maybe someone else does.

Hi Nef,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

That's exactly what I did. But after right-clicking it (as I'm doing it now), the manual showing up with the option of "Back", "Reload", "Tag this page", etc, but definitely no "Paste" and "Copy". So I'm stuck. Any more suggestions?

Thanks,

Copy the word file.
Then open "reply" or start a new thread here on the forum.
Make sure your cursor is in the "reply" or new thread box, just as you do when you start to type.
Right-click your mouse. (Click your mouse on the right, instead of on the left as you usually do.)
See if "paste" is a choice.

-----------

You may have already tried this.

Can anyone tell me how I can copy a Word file else where and then paste it in a thread here to post it. Now, it seems that I have to type word by word here.

Thanks,
