No, you downloaded a 2005 edition of the user guide for version 2 of the original software called OpenOffice.org, before it became Apache OpenOffice. > I am trying to figure out why is it so damn hard to copy and paste from > online items to your word program.

You haven't indicated what difficulty you were experiencing with copy and paste, or what "/things/" you are copying from and how you are pasting them into Writer. > Thanks. Douglas Cox If you would care to write back to this mailing list with details of: * Which version of the software you are using. * What you are trying to copy from (eg. a web page, another type of document, etc.) o If possible, provide a link to the source to be copied from. * How you are trying to paste the clipboard content into Writer (eg. Ctrl+V key combination, menu "/Edit -> Paste Special.../", etc.) * What you expect the copy - paste result to be. Armed with this information, I am sure one of the subscribers to this mailing list will volunteer to provide some pointers to a possible solution to your issue.
