I am having trouble with the "Paste from Word" button when trying to add a new chapter to my story. I click it, and the window pops up, but it's just a blank white page. Even the "Paste as Plain Text" button is doing it. am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong with it, or what? Please help! I haven't been able to post my new chapter for two days now Thanks.

When all else fails: Ctrl + C and Ctrl + C

Works every time.
(Unless it's in ProTools 8...the buttholes don't understand that I may want to duplicate a track! Dx)

This is really only worth reading if you have Word 2007 or newer

I've never posted anything, but I know that newer versions of Windows/Word really... mess things up that should be easy.

I don't know what the "Paste from Word" thing is, but as Kitten mentioned you should, theoretically anyway, be able to to just select the text, and Copy (Ctrl-C) the text from word, then Paste (Ctrl-V) the text into the box.

If that's not working, then I've ran across versions of Word when working with a ".docx" document in Word, that it just breaks things completely. You could try saving it as a ".doc" file (Word 97-2003 format) and trying the "Paste from Word" again. Word acts differently if it's working with a .doc file, than if it's working with the newer .docx file.

One other thing to try if the Copy/Paste directly doesn't work, would be to save your document as a Rich Text Document [.rtf] (Should keep basic formatting like bold, italics, etc.), then open that document with wordpad (Start->Run: wordpad ; -or- Right click the file, Open With -> Wordpad)

Sounds like your on Internet Explorer using it. It does it to me on there as well. I have to use FireFox to upload everything onto the site. The popup box isn't working for some reason with IE so you have to paste it into the big box then go in and put things like bold, italics, extra spaces and that in manually.

if youre using Internet explorer then I would say that is the problem, the thing is that its using a scripted window... -example- if youre editing your profile and you hit the little "insert image" button it pops up with this little window where you add in the address of the image... Internet explorer is notorious for not letting scripted windows work, and there is no feature to trust a site and always use the scripted windows.

I eventually just started using Opera to browse boards and the like.
