Microsoft Word "hangs" when I try to past text from a Yahoo email.?

Microsoft Words "hangs" and freezes when I attempt to past text from a Yahoo email into a Word documents. I do NOT have this problem with text from other sources (for example, hotmail or text from the New York Times.) Any suggestions?

It may be that all the formatting involved with the Yahoo! presentation of your e-mail may be choking Word.



If it's the text itself that's the most important, you can try this...



In Word, hit ALT-E-S and then select "Unformatted Text" from the menu that pops up. That will paste the text without any of the formatting.



This, of course, won't work, if you're trying to copy photos or graphics from the e-mail.



Hope this was helpful,



James
