OK Jim ; i use an OCR software

But difficult to understand why I can easily copy to WORD your red Welshjim's Avatar and unable to copy 4 words of a new gmail message.

yjabiven--As mentioned I can (usually) copy selected text of a GMail message but not selected text on the GMail Inbox page. I can copy the whole page in both situations by using Edit|Select all|Copy.
Please post a screenshot of the webpage with the 4 words you cannot copy in a GMail message.
Can you copy other text on that page?

New message before sending (state = draft)

Can you copy other text on that page?

Yes Correct

Well, as explained the "Hello Virtual Dr Forum" must be a bitmap. And I suspect it really is not part of the new message, but rather part of a template for all email messages from the VDr forum.

Hello

@ Jim

I suspect it really is not part of the new message.

No I wrote it on purpose.

I tried on other web sites , on other email services : no problem.

That is the most astonishing thing about this whole business.

And clearly I can work without copying gmail .

But why does this operation put WORD out of order ? That is mind-boggling

How did you highlight the

in your screenshot?

Gmail - New Message - Writing Hello Virtual Dr Forum - Dragging the mouse on Hello Virtual Dr Forum - Copy

On a WORD page - Paste .... and that puts WORD out of order
.

Those steps are working fine here.



(Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Internet Explorer 11, and Office Ultimate 2007 ... with all updates applied).



Try doing a repair on Office: Click the Windows Start button, type in appwiz.cpl and press [Enter]. Right-click "Microsoft Office <-whatever version you have->", select Repair and click Continue.
