From time to time, certain computer programmes seem to respond/not respond in a completely unpredictable fashion. One is almost tempted to believe that they are human!
Today whilst attempting to copy an item from a particular webpage into MS Word, I repeatedly encountered the query whether I wished to send an error report. After five or six failed attempts decided to give up. This occurred whilst using IE as my web-browser. By way of experiment tried pasting the same item into Open Office Writer : no problem!
Switched over to Firefox and, no problem copying the same item into MS Word. It is almost as if there was a bit of internecene conflict in the MS camp. Perhaps it's yet another glitch with IE, I've been getting quite used to them but, on further testing, it only seems to be when I'm copying from that particular webpage.
I'll just have to regard the temporary frustration as another aspect of life's rich tapestry and, find a life!
