Operator error?

Answer 2

I've tried it too and yeah it doesn't work using the shortcut of right clicking...Try copying it and right on top of the body there is a toolbar, click the paste it should work. If not put the cursor on the body as if typing then go to the edit menu and click on paste. That always works for me.

Hi, the likely cause is that you are not running in html format.
Are you running outlook. Go to tools-options-mail format. There is a drop down list titled "Compose in this message format" - choose HTML. say ok and try again.

Sorry ,missed the bit about using Yahoo etc.

Answer 4

I've occasionally run into this myself. I can't explain it (I think it may have to do with different applications handling clipboard processes slightly differently) but in some cases you can paste your text into a text editor such as Notepad and then select and copy it from there, then paste it into the place you really want it.

hmm, strange, unless the WYSIWYG applet isnt built with right-click options, you can't, and try a better browser like Mozilla Firefox
