I think its because Word creates a .tmp version of whatever you are working on which is basically a duplicate of the original file...in this way if you select Undo from the edit option on your menu (or I think also if your computer crashes and Word tries to retrieve whatever you were previously working on) it can carry out the action.  I'd say that what you are trying to cut/paste is too large for it to hold 2 of them in memory....anyhow that's my guess.

i'm guessing that you mean when you want to paste it somewhere it doesnt paste. check the print screen button, is it written in white or blue? if blue, you gotta press the FN key with it.

left click on the item you want to copy.  Highlight it by pressing the left click. drag it to copy a sentence or page.\nwhile it is highlighted, right click. when the selections come up, select copy.  Go to the page or blank page you want to past on.  Point the mouse where you want it to go.  Then press right click, select paste and there it is!

Copy it then right click where you want it to go and click paste. If it won't let you right click press ctrl and V at the same time with your cursor in the box where it goes.

highligt the text..do this by clicking the left mouse button, holding down and running the mouse over the text.  then let go and the text should be black or blue..or some color other than the original (highlighted). \n\nnext right click over top of the highlighted text. Click on copy in the menu.  Go to wherever you want to paste it and right click and click paste in the menu that comes up.\n\nOR\n\nafter highlighting the text on the keyboard push control (ctrl) and C at the same time (ctrl and c) this will copy the text.\nthen go to wherever you want to paste it.  click in that area and push control (ctrl) and v at the same time (ctrl and v)...this should paste the text!\n\ndon't worry about feeling stupid..it happens to everyone..\nhope this helps..usually it helps if you know two ways.

There are a number of ways to take screen shots.  The built in way of using either ctrl-print screen or alt-print screen (for the focused window only) is the easiet.  This puts a graphic of the screen or window in the clipboard.  To access them, simply paste the clipboard into the paint program or any other program that can handle a picture paste function.  (simply open a new document and paste from the edit menu.)  A tool to make the clipboard more friendly might help out with this.  Or a 3rd party screen capture utility could help better too.  Check this web page for such programs.

I don't need all this "Ctrl and whatever" - simply highlight the bit you want to copy (by left clicking and dragging over the area concerned), right click, move to "copy" and then left click. Click again to clear. When you're ready to paste, click on where you want to paste, right click, move to "Paste" and left click. Done.

Some of the other answers are ok.\nPlug in any other generic keyboard and see if you get the same\nproblem.\nUpgrading Internet Explorer causes Micro$oft to go in and\ndestroy your Windows keyboard functions, so that if you\nare using Win98Se for example, without notifiying you,\nM$ will destroy your Print Screen functions and you will have to use the "new and improved" XP functions - Clipboard\nis totally turned to garbage, and as one person ( who obviously uses XP ) states, you would have to use M$ PAINT to see what would normally be on the Clipboard.\n ALT Print SCR gives you just the topmost open window, but\nif you are getting nothing in the first place,\ngetting no top window would not be of much use.\n In the future, please provide more detail, such as what operating system it is that you are using ( Linux, OS2,\nBEOS, DOS, win3.11, NT, Win95, WinME, etc. ) and better\ndefine what does not work. ie was it working before and quit? What program are you using to LOOK at the captured\nPrinted Screen? etc. etc.\n hope this helps

When pasting, try use Edit | Paste Special | Paste as: \nUnformatted text.\nI think yahoo change some formatting recently which caused "regular" copying to crash word.  I think this should work for you.
