mike13 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I wrote up a long description of my computer problem in Microsoft Word. I planned to do a Copy / Paste to a thread here, but I can't paste it here. If I click on that Word icon at the top that says paste from Word, I am able to get it posted to the "box that appears" but i can't get it posted to a thread I want to start. What am i doing wrong ? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 For me that option is not available. If I toggle the text input to plain text and back, then I can click that button but only if I do not click in the reply box. When I do it says this: Because of your browser security settings, the editor is not able to access your clipboard data directly. You are required to paste it again in this window. I tested it out and I don't see a reason for that button. It just pastes text into quick reply the same as if I did it myself with Ctrl+V. Are you making a post with different colors or text formatting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike13 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Tripredacus---Thanks for the reply. I just have a simple word document typed up, no colors or text formatting. I Highlight the words, Right click and choose COPY, then I go to the thread I started and right click and choose Paste, but nothing happens. I also get that message that you posted about "Because of your browser settings...." Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 You forgot to tell us the browser and version. Did changing the setting fix the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike13 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 jumper---Thanks for the reply. I am using EDGE, in windows 10. Not sure which version it is, but I usually have the NEWEST updates.I did not change any "setting". Not sure I know what you are referring to. What setting would you suggest I change.

NoelC Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just testing. I composed this post in Word 2010, then selected all, copied, and pasted into the forum editor window. I intentionally used a non-standard font called Cooper Black just to see how much of the formatting would be retained. I’m browsing with Internet Explorer. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I was referring to the browser security setting that prevents the editor from accessing clipboard data directly. Probably Scripting->Allow Programmatic clipboard access. Try copying as plain text instead of rich text. Also try pasting with Ctrl+V. Right-clicking and selecting Paste tells the app to read the clipboard. Pressing Ctrl+V tells the OS to insert from the clipboard into the active window as if typed.
