I have two fairly large documents. When I copy and paste a section of one
document to the end of the other document, I get an hourglass that never goes
away. Task manager shows Word eating cpu. Is there any way to do this copy?

Thanks.

You could try treating the documents as corrupt. Recreating them, for example
by copying their contents, except for the final paragraph mark, to a new
document, might fix the issue. For more, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm.

Other approaches, I guess, is to install more RAM or to divide the documents
into smaller parts.
