MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / October 2005Text is not pasted into Publisher
When I "paste" text that has been "copy"-ed from Word, the number 2 is pasted - not the text I want to paste. I've cleared the clipboard and tried again but each time I paste, just the number 2 is pasted. I have tried copying text from a different Word file but get the same result. Any ideas as to why this happens? Might do a "detect & repair" found under help. What version Office are you using? Does this occur when you "paste special?" Does text paste correctly into Word from Publisher?

Any ideas as to why > this happens? Word is from Students/Teachers version 2003 (Publisher is from Standard Office version 2002). I have discovered that if I close Publisher and then reopen, I am able to copy/paste okay for awhile but then later, something else gets "stuck" in the clipboard (even though I've cleared it) and that's the only thing I can paste. Right now things are working okay so I'm not able to see if "Paste Special" will work when "paste" does not. Also, right now I am able to copy from Publisher to Word - I didn't try that when things were not working correctly. I'll look into the "detect and repair" > Might do a "detect & repair" found under help. > What version Office are you using?

Only the Special Edition Office XP Professional came with Publisher 2002 (unless you count OEM versions). My mistake, Publisher came preloaded (OEM) on my PC with Office XP Small Business Version 2002. > > Word is from Students/Teachers version 2003 (Publisher is from > > Standard Office version 2002).
