Computer Help and Support

There was a tiny bit of hope that a fix had occurred about problem #3. After getting nowhere with Tech Support from HP and MS, I did a Search for download updates for MS Works 9, and there appeared to be one dating from 2012, a Security update. No idea whether the Download actually happened - there was an window saying "Thanks for downloading..." but no sign of it in the list of Downloads. Opened the MS WP program and attempted the Pasting of text from a website and, here was the bit of hope, it *did* Paste. But an attempt to add a second Paste ended up the same as in the problem, the document became non-responsive and then just disappeared. Also, attempted to Copy/Paste image/picture, no-go.

********But: Have stumbled on my own work around. There has always been an option, "New Window". So my main use for this Pasting is to assembled multiple-pastings in one place to then Copy the whole thing and Paste it into DU post. The second/new window allows me to have that space to Paste into, whether in a blank e-mail or in the blank DU post, until I'm ready to select it all for submitting/posting.

So, the problems remain, with a little step forward. Thanks, everybody.
