Silly question, but have you tried Paste Special?

Can't paste special in word, can you ?
 
I came up with all kinds of one liners for that one, but still resisted it. Anyway, have you tried?

Yep I tried don't have the option
 
Then, there is something seriously wrong with your install of Microsoft Word. Option being greyed out is understandable, not having the option is bewildering.

I hope you are not just right clicking in word and are actually going to the Edit menu.

BTW, are you running Norton antivirus? If so, have you turned off Office plug-in?

Ooops did go to the edit menu but didn't expand it so didn't see paste special.
User gone home now so will have to try in the morning hopefully this will work
Thanks for help
