The error you are encountering while trying to copy and paste from Publisher 2007 to another open instance of Publisher 2007 may be related to the clipboard functionality. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this issue: 1.
Clear Clipboard: - Sometimes, the clipboard can become corrupt or overloaded. Clearing the clipboard can sometimes resolve these types of issues. - To clear the clipboard in Windows, you can press
Windows key + R
to open the "Run" dialog, type
cmd
, and then in the command prompt window, enter the following command:
2.
Restart Publisher and Windows: - Close both instances of Publisher and any other programs you have open. Restart Publisher and try copying and pasting again. - If the issue persists, consider restarting your computer to refresh system resources. 3.
Check for Updates: - Ensure that Publisher 2007 and Windows 7 Ultimate have all the latest updates installed. Sometimes, updating software can resolve compatibility issues. 4.
Disable Add-ins: - Add-ins in Publisher can sometimes cause conflicts and result in clipboard errors. Try disabling any add-ins you have installed and check if the issue persists. 5.
Run Publisher in Compatibility Mode: - You can try running Publisher in compatibility mode to see if that helps. Right-click on the Publisher shortcut, go to "Properties," then the "Compatibility" tab, and select a compatibility mode. Test if copying and pasting works in this mode. 6.
Check for System Resource Issues: - While you have sufficient memory, it's worth checking if there are any other system resource issues like high CPU or memory usage. - You can check the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to see if any processes are consuming excessive resources. If after trying these steps you still encounter issues, it might be beneficial to consider upgrading to a newer version of Publisher or exploring alternative ways to transfer data between documents.
