also, Mr IT
i have a standard version of outlook. why is it that i can't copy and paste into the body of my email half the time? it drives me mad having to copytype or dictate sections of leases or titles. the right click button just doesn't bring up the usual options. i hate it.

why??

Don't you have an assistant to do this sort of shit for you?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 21 Aug 2012, 10:12, Reply)

yes but i still have to dictate it
often it's quicker to type it myself, as i have a v fast typing speed anyway, than to dictate it and wait for it to come back, then check it.

Check what format it's in, if it's not in HTML, that can cause trouble with C&P

Hi.
Have you tried talking to your own IT team, who'd have direct support experience of your set up?

Sounds like winword.exe's fucked.

You need a new router. I can install one for you for good price

CTRL-ALT-DEL
Go to Task Manager, then the Processes tab.

Find winword.exe. Highlight, click End Process. It'll ask you if you're sure. Say yes.

DO NOT have any unsaved Word documents open when you do this. This includes draft emails. They will all instantly close.

Then, when you open a new mail, winword should restart.
