Disappearing text when doing a paste

1.pasted HTML text disappears

Thanks Jean_Guy

That was the first thing I thought too, but the font is black on a white 
background.
To double check, I tried to pasted it into a .doc and it pasted fine.

However, in EXCEL, I have to double click the mouse to get the text to 
appear.  

I just noiticed that when I do that, most of the options, on the standard 
options toolbar, selected from the "View," go gray.
 
Opening "View," on the Menu, when the only choice that isn't gray is 
"toolbars.". 

For the cell that keeps hiding, at the input box at the top of the page, 
where a "=" is entered to indicate the cell contains a formula is active and 
shows, an X, a check mark, and the = sign.

However, for the cells that show text, that area is gray and empty. When I 
select one of those cells, all the options that gray out when the "blank" row 
that contains a header and has to be double clicked to get it to show, return.

So, we are still unsolved on this problem.   Oh, I also checked to see if 
anyting was hidden and it wasn't.  

More help is needed to figure out how to simply paste the headers in a cell, 
without having them disappear unless I double click the cell and keep the 
curson in it.

Thanks, Bob

2.Copied text from Notepad disappears when pasted to Outlook XP

This seems to be a recurring but intermittent problem.

3.Text disappears upon pasting

Ever since we switched to Office 2007, I've had the following problem with 
Outlook:

When pasting into an email -- sometimes a new one, sometimes from Drafts -- 
the text I'm pasting not only doesn't show up, but ALL the text in the 
recipient email disappears. Then there is a long lag -- one to two minutes, 
I'd estimate -- before the copy shows up and the rest of the original copy 
returns. 

This happens when copying from other emails or from websites. (I'm not sure 
about documents.) The COMPLETELY bizarre thing is that sometimes the copy in 
the SOURCE email also disappears and only returns when the pasted copy shows 
up.

As you can imagine, at first I tried clicking frantically around both 
emails, trying to get my copy back (aaarg!), but I couldn't tell if that sped 
things up or not. 

Isn't this weird? It's stumped IT, who are really very good.

Any and all input gratefully received,

4.pasted text disappears

It seems that whenever I cut and paste text from most any application into 
Outlook, it shows up as invisible.  If I select the new area where the text 
should be and change the color of that text to BLACK, there it is -- 
perfectly visible.  It seems that anything with color set to the default 
AUTOMATIC is invisible.  I've made signatures in Outlook 2007 and they, too, 
are invisible in a new message unless I select them and change the color.

Other people receiving mail from me say it looks fine when they get it, but 
if they try to cut and paste some of my text, it shows up invisible in 
whatever other e-mail message or application they're pasting it.  Wierd!  

I had this problem so often in Outlook Express that I recently switched over 
to Outlook to try and get past it.  However, the problem followed me right 
into Outlook.  There's gotta be a setting somewhere that tells the system 
AUTOMATIC is not black ... maybe white?  (I haven't tested it on a colored 
background to see.)

Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks.

5.Layer disappears when pasting text

When I paste text that I copied from Word into a DW layer it looks great. When 
I save the page and 
 reopen it the layer is gone and the text is reformatted. What's interesting is 
the layer does not show 
 up in the layers pallet but I still see mention of it in the code.
 How do I get the layer to stay?
 Thanks
 Rob
