Word won't Paste anything. I copy, Paste and it just doesn't work. I have tried it in Notepad and it works, so i think it has something to do with Word.

Anybody ever have this problem?
Anybody have any suggestions?

Doesn't Word have a special copy/paste system? Try to bring up Word's clipboard (which has space for more than one thing) and see if it's even on there.

Yes, but Ctrl-C ; Ctrl-V works too, well, at least it always has for me.

Because it's true. Word is a terrible program, the rest of the office suite is fairly good but word is annoying to use. Try putting an image exactly where you want it.

Did you check your clipboard? Like copy from Word and paste into notepad. Or copy from notepad and paste into something else?

TheJkWhoSaysNi et al: Burrboy's right. He asked for help not one's opinion on Word or "omg! w0rd sux get openofffice!!1"

You can put a picture anywhere. Set the text wrapping the way you want it, and then you can nudge the picture with the arrow keys.

Indesign linux port: no. Score 0.
Scribus natively linux: Yes. Score 1.


Scribus wins.
