And Now, Entourage '04 Won't Copy Text In An Email

[chopper]

Suddenly selecting text and copying it from any email in Entourage 2004 will not copy. I can still copy text from Word or any browser and it will copy and paste but still refuses to do so in Entourage.

Is there a setting that may have been turned on inadvertently or?

sounds crazy, but have you rebooted?

A few times. I think I am going to try a USB drive I have an Os installed on and see what that's like.

I ran Onyx or whatever it's called last week, FWIW.

Thinking the drive may be grenading on this thing.

What Mac and version of OS X is this running on?

Just FYI - when I switched from PPC machines to Intel Macs a few years ago, we were still running Office 2004. I can tell you for sure MS Excel acted very strange while running on an Intel Mac, like copy/paste not working, tabbing to fields from adjacent fields wouldn't work some times - really wonky stuff. I dug and dug, and finally found a discussion that attributed the problems to Office 2004 not being compatible with Intel processors, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, or a combo of both. So, we all upgraded to Office 2008.

are you using a mouse that requires 3rd party drivers?

Are you running Snow Leopard? Did you just do a Security Update?
