    Copy/Paste in Word. Notepad does not do it. WordPad does work.

    Hi, Thanks, you are both right. How do you copy and paste to wordpad? never used it before, notice board, if thats correct.I would like to copy and patse a 64 bit encryption key into my router via wordpad, so I don,t make a mistake, and retain a copy.I hope this makes sense. As regards the e-mail, I wanted to post an e=mail reply to a thread on routers.from my ISP, so other lads can view it.

    Well ok then, Somethings, plain text ok, others with embedded graphics may not, just notepad does not cope as well as other apps. I did test before my earlier post to ensure accuracy...sorry

    Update
    Win 7 and Snippit tool, does not paste into Notepad but does in Wordpad..go figure.
    This also confirms helping a friend the other day copy a DVLA driver learning cd screenshot to Word to create a printout.
