So, now we have to do one more click to do the work. This is just one more case of the software trying to second-guess what I want to do - or me having to take steps so that it doesn't. I for one would vote for fewer features that could be operated more quickly. This would also improve reliability.

This comment is colored by the fact that Word 2007 and later is making me absolutely crazy. And I can't get a straight answer from anyone about whether it's because I'm running it on XP Pro, or the wrong processor.

MS did a wonderful thing by teaching the Office tools to have a common look and feel, and gave the abiltiy to move mail, documents and calendar items interchangeably. Since then, the incremental changes have added little value and costed us reliabilty and slowed useage.

Can you tell me a little bit more? I'm the Microsoft author who wrote the post. Where does she get the line she doesn't want? Below a sentence? Above?

My wife is trying to creat a document using cut and paste. She keeps getting a line that she doesn't want, any ideas? She is going to print the doc on fabric for a quilt

On one of my WIndows 7 computers, Word 2010 allows pasting with retained formatting; on the other it only pastes with Text Only option. No settings are different. I NEED to paste with formatting! Any ideas?

All of a sudden.......... Microsoft Word will not keep source formatting when I copy and paste. Also, the paste options button does not appear. I have checked all the relevant boxes in the 'Word Options' 'Advanced' tab but it still doesnt work!! Can you help?

My 'Paste Option Button' has gone missing! I do not know what settings I messed up. I want it back please. Without it Copy-Paste actions do not behave normally - when copying table rows, in paste I only get the contents with tab and not as a table row(s).

Could you please fix pasting from Internet Explorer? Everytime I paste something from the web, word freezes up while it "contacts the server for information"
