Why can't I copy/paste?

[moram]

I am trying to copy/paste info back and forth between my WordPerfect 8.0 software and my MS Office XP software and I get an error that says "WP Win error. Input file is not the specified format."
Help me PLEASE. I thought text was text was text. If it ain't broken, play with it till it breaks.

Hello moran,
Are you pasting from WordPerfect into Word or from Word into WordPerfect? Either way try this:

WordPerfect into Word
1. Copy text in WordPerfect
2. "Paste Special" in Word
3. Select "Unformatted Text"

Word into WordPerfect
1. Copy text in Word
2. "Paste without Formatting" in WordPerfect

Hope this helps,
