It sounds as if Dijesh is really trying to send emails, with fairly complex
text that needed editing, but doesn't want to necessarily send them directly
from Writer. From the original description of the problem, it sounds like
unusual behavior of the clipboard -- pasting eventually works, but only
after several tries. So it got copied OK, but somehow the email client isn't
happy with using what's in the clipboard and he has to bang on it. The only
similar problems I've had are when the Control or Alt keys are "stuck," and
I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Pressing the Control key again
unstuck it. I really doubt that this behavior has anything to do with
Writer, though, if that's the case.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for your reply. My OpenOffice.org version is 2.0. Can you
provide
me a solution other than sending the emails directly from OpenOffice.org?
Thanks,

You did not mention which version of OpenOffice.org you are
using. If it is one of the latest version, you should be able to
email directly from OOo. And there are two different ways to do this.
If you are using OOo 2.1.0, you can use File > Send and choose
which format you want to use to send the document. This includes
Microsoft Word (97,2000,XP) and PDF among others.
The second method uses mail merge for emails. This might be
something your company could use. There is a Mail Merge chapter in
the Writer Guide. This chapter is available at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/.

When saving the document, save another copy in Word format and then send
that. To save in Word format, do File>Save As and then choose the relevant
Word format from the list of available "type" (probably "Microsoft Word
97/2000/XP (.doc)"). Makes sure the box labelled "Automatic file name
extension" is checked.
