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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
