Hi,
I've had this happen when I have tried copying and pasting text from complex
webpages. One way around this, assuming that formatting is not important is
to first paste the text into notepad and then, copy it again and pasted into
Microsoft Word.

Subject: lockups and hard resets
Hi all --
I am using jaws10 on XP Pro with the following apps running: OE, IE,
Word2003 with 2 documents open.
I have been jumping around copying and pasting paragraphs and things into my
documents -- things that I would think are fairly safe, but for some reason
windows is locking up on some paste operations (I can't reproduce the
problem, but it happens intermittently).
The copied text is only a paragraph from a web page, and the destination is
an open Word document, and when I try killing the apps in volved, everything
else will die but the source webpage and the open word doc, and I end up
needing to do a hard reset to free up the machine.
After holding down the power button it shuts off, but when I started up just
a while ago the problem was still there when I got on -- something was
really constipating windows (excuse the terminology but that's what I think
of windows process management right now).
I tried calling up the start menu a bunch of ways to shut down gracefully
but I could not get the start menu to pop up.
In fact, almost anything I tried didn't work, and everything took 10-30
seconds to respond, if at all.
So I pressed the power button again and it finally restarted and the problem
is for now gone.
Is there a known reason this could be happening? Is anyone else locking up
under the same circumstances?
For a while this morning I was afraid I had hardware failure.
Ideas welcome. TIA
