Sometimes it won't paste?!

[Brent]

Got XP Home Ed. recently. Like to use Netscape browser.
Sometimes, usually with Netscape, the cut & paste function
won't work. I cut text and the paste option is unavailable
when I try to paste. Can't figure it out.

Welcome to the world of Netscapte Vs MS

Hi Brent,
The problem is not only with Netscape but it can happen randomly with any
windows program. When it happens, try the shift/p, or right click/ paste, or
edit/paste. One will normally work. If not, try again to cut or copy, but
use another means, like the keyboard, Edit/cut/copy or right click/cut or
copy. I also use a small utility from PC Magazine called Cliptrack. It
allows about 20 items to be pasted on the clipboard and you can see what is
on the clipboard too.
Hope this helps,
Ken

I cannot help with Netscape, but another free utility you might try is
"Clipboard Buddy" which will hold up to 20 items which were copied to the
Windows Clipboard. It works well with XP.
