What version of Word, what version of Windows, & *how* are you trying to
execute the Paste command?
There are at least 4 ways to paste;
1- Edit>Paste
2- Ctrl+v
3- Paste Button (Standard Toolbar)
4- Right-Click, choose Paste from the 'shortcut' menu
Which ones have you tried & what happens when you attempt it? Can you
cut/copy from Word & paste to another type of file (Excel worksheet,
Powerpoint, Notepad, etc)?
