Word document locking up after pasting?

[Guest]

I tried to paste an email from my yahoo email into my word document and the
whole word document locked up, had to press ctrl-alt-delete and it said that
the program was not responding. I can paste from other websites ok but when
it comes to pasting an email from yahoo the document locks up?

Hi Laurie,

Try pasting from a Yahoo e-mail into something like a Notepad file. Does
that work? If so, then you can first paste the the Notepad, then copy and
paste again into Word. If it doesn't work, it is probably a problem with your
Yahoo account.

Use edit > paste special > unformatted text
(or use the following macro)

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub
