Hello there Mary,

I tried that. It didn't work.

This is on a network across three sites. It is happening on all stations across one site, and all students logging on at that site.
The first time they log on, they receive the error. If the clear the clipboard, it works after that. If you choose "paste special", it works fine.
Although you get the error in Publisher, you can paste anywhere else without a problem
I've checked on the Net. This seems to be a known problem all over, with pasting into publisher from the Internet or from Outlook express.
