Mayrie,

Relax, it's not your fault. I think something is wrong with my computer or a 
program. I figured out how to clear the clipboard. That part is okay now. You 
are a wonderful, helpful person. I appreciate your advice.

Tim

Hi Tim,
 
Oh no!  What if you open up Notepad and paste the 
unwanted text in there, then just don't save the file?
 
I didn't know this would be a problem.   What if you 
just don't worry about it until you need to cut something else, and let that 
something else replace it on the clipboard?  Won't it just disappear 
then?  
 
I'm sorry.  I didn't know leaving something on the 
clipboard would cause a problem.  I do it all the time with no ill 
effects.

Mayrie,

That was partially successful. Now, it's stuck in the "paste" feature 
until I put it somewhere. I tried to paste it in a new email form but it still 
stayed stuck in the "paste" feature. How do I get it out of the paste feature? 
I 
think I should have highlighted as you said and then pressed 
"delete".

Help!!I can't use my cut and paste 
feature!


Tim

Re: Extra pages


Hi Tim,
 
There are probably less clunky ways of doing 
this, but here's what I'd do:
 
Place your cursor at the top of the section that 
you don't want in the book.
Press shift+downarrow until all of the text that 
you want gone is highlighted/selected
Try to highlight any page breaks that you want 
to get rid of as well.
Press control+x to cut the 
text.
All of the text that you don't want should be 
gone.
Save so you don't lose your 
changes!
 
Hope that helps!
 
Mayrie

A book I'm proofing has two pages that don't belong. There are only 173 
pages in the book, but after page XXIII in the front matter, is page 248 and a 
blank page! After that the Intro continues. How do I get rid of the two pages? 
I'm using Word 2003.
