A Win98 system can't paste text copied from a website to a WordPad doc. It can paste that same copied text to a Notepad doc. That text on the Notepad doc can then be copied and pasted to that same blank WordPad doc.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

In Wordpad go to the EDIT menu, PASTE SPECIAL. In the dialog box that appears choose Paste As...UNFORMATTED TEXT.

Thanks for the correct answer. I might have been able to find that answer, but a friend needed it ASAP and you came through.
