Word - not responding when pasting content from Yahoo email

[Guest]

MS Word 2003 --I've been having problems when trying to copy-and-paste from a
Yahoo email into a Word doc. After a long wait, Word goes into "not
responding" mode and shuts down, then restarts with the recovered doc. Not
having this problem when copying-and-pasting from another Word doc. Is there
a fix?

When pasting into Word, try using Edit | Paste Special | Paste as:
Unformatted text.

hi,

i have experienced the same kinda issue, too .. "paste special" seems like a
good alternative .. but garfield-n-odie, could you further explain whether
there is any specific reason why word crashes when such an attempt
(copy-pasting from web email) is made, at all? thanks.

It appears to be a particular issue with some web mail servers, particularly
Yahoo - probably caused by Windows security measures.
