I have Win XP Home. Previous versions of Windows allowed me to copy "something" like a phrase from an internet site and paste the copied words into a Word or Excel document.
Win XP home will not let me do this easily. The application that I will paste to must be open first before XP will copy the text. That is, if I want to copy the phrase "COPY ME" from a web site to Word, I need to have Word open first, then I copy the phrase and paste it to Word.
Help. How can I get back to the way Win 95 and 98 worked allowing me to copy something, open an application and then paste the phrase?
thanks
