For more than a year I have been using Ditto. It saves what you place in the clipboard so you can access it later if you wish. Makes forum posting much easier and more reliable if I remember to copy my post text prior to publishing.

tried that earlier today with no success.

You may want to try placing both applications, browser and word processor, side by side using WIN 7 snap. Highlight the text you want to use in your post. Then, hold down your left-mouse button, and drag into your browser. Make sure you do so within the Forum's "Post a Reply" window. Does this method work?

nope, sorry. but thanks for the suggestion. never knew about snap.

I just moved to a newer computer this week with Win7 and today find I can't copy/paste to the forums here. Probably haven't been able to all week, just today was the first time I tried.

So I'm following this thread and hope someone posts the answers we both need!

I just copied and pasted your post and didn't have a problem. Sorry,I don't know what your problem is or how to fix it.
I have found that sometimes the blue copied symbol lies, so I always right click and select copy, just like with XP.
