98Z5V Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) What browser are you using? You should be able to, without issue. I'll try it, hold on... "Typed up, copied and pasted from Word into here, through the Firefox browser..." Just used right click/copy, then right click/paste into here.

gnatshooter Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Why I can't copy and past from my word to 308.com? Wolf I've had that problem before, and the problem is, rather unfortunately, what software companies call "intelligent" copy and paste. What that means is that, when you copy and paste, you are moving boatloads of HTML and other things that can totally trash your attempt at copy-paste. The software companies think you want to copy all the pretty and weird stuff from one place to another, even if it doesn't work. So what you want to do is copy & paste into a hard text editor, which refuses cute special-effects crapola, and then, copy and paste from that text editor to the web page you're working on. I recommend TextMorph for this use, which is freeware. There are other good hard text editors out there. I've relied on TextMorph for over a decade for reliably "cleaning" text movements, and tried some others. TextMorph hides nicely on a corner of the screen where all I do is cut & paste, which is nice, and that's where I go when I move text from anywhere to anywhere else.

98Z5V Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 So what you want to do is copy & paste into a hard text editor, ... He's trying to copy and paste from Word, man. Not a webpage. Details elude you at times, I can see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) The copypasta is weak in you. See that 2nd icon on the right in the first row of the reply window? Yes the one with the blue "W". Hover your mouse over it and it says "Paste from Word" Problem solved.

gnatshooter Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 He's trying to copy and paste from Word, man. Not a webpage. Details elude you at times, I can see that. Word is nearly the same as a web page, depending on the formatting of the document you are pasting from. And it's really getting tiring hearing your personal accusations. Beat on someone else.

Everybody just has to let it go? Your 1st Amendment isn't any more important than my 1st Amendment. Grow thick skin, or figure out what you're doing in the first place. Nothing I've said has been an accusation, either. Get your terms right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang1952 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 This is the only site that I can't copy and past too. I can copy and past to FAL Files, Bayou Shooters, LOCAL and other sites I frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Try pasting the old fashioned way. Use CTRL+V. It's how we did it before these new fangled mouse things with their clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaRKle! Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) You guys using the built in editor mode or the raw text mode? If not, give that a try.To switch modes hit the light switch icon (upper-left most button on forum editor's toolbar). Edited June 2, 2014 by FaRKle!

Wolfgang1952 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Can't even post from Photobucket. You can see I have over 30 post. The problem just started.

Wolf Wolfgang, Try pasting the text into NotePad or similar program -- and then copying from that program back into the .308AR reply block. I still think that there is so much formatting in the original MSWord file that the .308AR reply block simply throws up its hands. NotePad or a similar text editor should 'clean up' all the extra crapola and deliver pure words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang1952 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Tried that too. So why it worked for 20+ post and all of sudden stopped? Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 What version of Internet Explorer are you using? If your computer recently applied updates, [The middle of last week, IIRC], you may need to turn on compatibility mode, clear your browser cache, and restart your browser to get the CCP back. Or just use Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
