1. Comment - Yahoo Mail Beta Receives Update

   (Jan 2, 2007 - 12:11 PM)

   Yahoo mail, IE (html) paste into word locks up! This used to work fine. Other web sites work fine. It started right after yahoo upgraded mail interface.
   
   I am experiencing consistant problems with Yahoo mail when pasting into word. More particularly html code into word. XP SP2 with Office 2003 Sp2, CPU processed up to 90% utilization. This function was working for a long time, now word freezes.
   
   Through research I found many people have the same issue. We can perform a work around with Paste Special, then select rtf format. When I perform a past into WordPAD, it performs flawlessly. The problem is that word tries to access the source of the html code (Yahoo mail) as part of the paste function.
   
   I have reloaded Word, repaired, disabled firewall, removed firewall, reinstalled, removed and checked for patches, turned off smart paste in word, regenerated normal.dot, repaired word, changed the view to normal/webview. Reinstalled again, removed all registry references to word, checked for viruses, spam, malware, Adaware, Sybot, Defender, Norton virus scan, Updated Adobe( ??) etc...
   
   All of these actions did not change this problem of internet explorer paste to word crashes. Research tells me this is a long standing issue.
