Can't paste Webpage

Guest

I was able to copy and paste an EBAY webpage to a blank Word document up
until April 5. Now all I get is a Error window and then asking me to send a
report or don't send. When it worked, I'd get a couple of windows with
questions notifying me of change to format and I'd answer them both no, and
then my ebay page would appear. I'd click File, Save As, then under save as
file type: Webpage Archive Single is what I'd pick. This is the only option
that would save pictures on the auciton listing. Choosing "Complete" or
"HTML" only saves pictures till the seller removes them, then they are
removed from what I've saved. So ARCHIVE SINGLE is the only one.
NOW........I just get the Microsoft error reporting window. I even
uninstalled and reinstalled Office thinking that would solve the problem, but
nope. Ebay has encrypted their pages even more now, so they can't be saved
now in the standard "File", "Save As" way. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH EBAY, not
any other websites. Already contacted them twice in Live Help and of course
they were NO help. Except to say that it's a security issue. However, two
days ago I could at least save to Office. Anybody out there who can help
would be much appreciated. This is how I keep track of all my items I sell
and buy. Thanks.

If you find a method that allows you to paste in the text and pictures,
immediately unlink the pictures (Ctrl+Shift+F9) so that they are stored
locally rather than linked to the Web server; then they won't disappear when
the seller removes the item.

You can also save the picture directly from the Web page by right-clicking
and choosing Save Picture.
