when it comes to copying anything in a windows program...if all else fails, CTL + C will probably do it. It's actually the only way I copy and paste. CTL + c to copy, CTL + V to paste.

I tried your suggestion it will only copy one line

Could you try and paste some text from a dictionary or encyclopaedia to see if you have the same problem

I'm wondering if this is a bug

I expected to select the text I want to copy right click and choose the menu copy

I'm wondering if this is a feature that's been forgotten about

okay I've tried another way of copying text from a resource it a bit long winded, I select the text in the resource , right click to bring up the menu

I have an existing note file which shows up in this menu "add a note to" after this I open up the note and copy the text then I can paste it in WordPerfect [:O]

I tried this with Word and had no problem with the CTL shortcuts. Maybe its a Wordperfect thing.

MIchael,

The first section on the right click context menu for any resource is "Selection" this allows whatever is selected to be copied.

I have tried your suggestion, when I paste in WordPerfect only one line of text appears

I found out what was causing the problem in WordPerfect I needed to paste as unformatted text

Thanks for your help

Problem solved

Are you sure the problem wasn't with the "Perfect" part?

and did the same exercise using WordPad

it would only copy one line as soon as I pasted text in as unformatted it worked
