I can't copy and paste from Works

Till today I was able to copy and paste items from my works word processor
into my Windows Mail emails. Now when I use this function I get the message -
"Windows Mail has stopped working" and "Last time you ran Windows Mail it did
not exit correctly."

What can I do to get this function working again? What have I done wrong? Am
I being punished for swearing at my computer?

Re: I can't copy and paste from Works

Since Windows Mail has not been improved since about July 2006,
each day it falls a little farther behind in the compatibility race.
I suggest upgrading to Windows Live Mail:

Re: I can't copy and paste from Works

I upgraded to Windows Live Mail but I still have the same problem. When I
copy and past text from Works into an email, the whole email grays out and I
get the message: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly."

I can send what I have in Works as an attachment; I prefer to copy and paste
the material though. It is really strange that this function just quit
spontaneously. Do you think if I threw my computer out of the window it would
help?

Sincerely,

Alice

See my response in your other thread "I can't copy and paste".
Please use only one thread per issue.
