Prevent Crashes When Copying Text from a Website


Sometimes when you copy a Web page and try to paste it into Microsoft Word, the graphics in the Web content will cause Word to freeze or crash. To prevent this, try these fixes:


  • Do not paste an entire Web page into Word.

  • Copy small sections of the Web page and paste them into Word one by one.

  • Do not copy text and Web pictures simultaneously.

  • If possible, copy and paste each picture or image individually.

  • A never-fail alternative is to paste the Web content into Notepad, and then transfer it to Word. This option is ideal for large blocks of text. A word of caution: pasting Web content into Notepad strips out all pictures, images, and graphics, leaving only plain text.

    If you’re okay with that, follow these steps to transfer Web content:


  • Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.

  • Click All Programs.

  • Select Accessories.

  • Click Notepad.

  • Copy the website text and paste it into Notepad, which will strip the text of its Web format and convert it to plain text.

  • Copy the text from Notepad and paste it into Word.
