I am using OpenOffice 1.0 with Windows2000 S.P.2. I tried to paste text copied 
from a web page displayed in Internet Explorer. The word processor "froze" and 
I had to use Task Manager to end stop the program.

(Parag  Mujumdar , )9/11/02)  Hello  Everybody , 

I  could  replicate  the  bug  mentioned  ,  but  with  little  
variation  in  the  procedure. I  am  using  PIII  system  with  
windows2000  operating  system. It  does  not  cause  any  kind  of  
problem  in  copy-pasting  a  plain  text  document  from  IE  to  
word  processor  , on  my  system. The  problem  started  occurring  
only  when  I  tried  to  copy  paste  document  with  links ,  
controls (such  as  text  boxes  ,  option  boxes , etc. ) , plain  
text  an  images  to  word  processor. Here  is  the  simplified  
set  of  steps  for  replicating  the  bug  :

1.	Open  OpenOffice  word  processor.
2.	Open  IE  ,   with  any  webpage  containing  document  with  
links ,  controls (such  as  text  boses  ,  option  boxes , etc. ) , 
plain  text  and  images.
3.	Press  CTRL+A  for  selecting  all  document.
4.	Copy-paste  in  word  processor.

Bug  :  The  word  processor  stop  responding  anymore  and  
freezes. To  close  the  word  processor  we  have  to  go  to  the  
task  manager  and  End  task.

Removing  this  bug  is  very  essential  as  users  can  loose  
their  unsaved  data  while  copy-pasting  information  from  web.

Thank  you

Jim, thanks for posting this issue.

You can always try using the paste special, and paste the web page as 
unformatted text.

Thank you for using and supporting OOo.
