    Hi Max - nice to see that you are being pro-active and bringing this to everybody's attention. We need more of this! A solution included as well!

    Excellent!

    I tried rebuiding MS Office and that worked for a little while (I now see it worked until I ran Firefox again with Skpe Click to Call.

    This worked very well.

    Thanks

    Thank you good sir, this has been driving me silly for about 4 hours, and I been using Spreadsheets since SuperCalc & Lotus.   I uninstalled Skype and everything is beer & skittles..  Great job!!

    Hello,

    Jan here :-)

    I told my colleagues I was uninstalling Skype Click to Call to solve my copy/paste problems and they (Gary and Geoff) scoffed at the idea, well guess what!!

    IT WORKED! copy paste works again both equations and tables (in MS Word). I also ended up removing a small icon on Google chrome (top right) for skype to call! I had trouble uninstalling Skype to Call, as it kept complaining about chrome being open (which it was not). In the end I force deleted skype/toolbar folder from my Program Files!

    Life can be stranger than fiction, who would have guessed. I'd like to know how anyone figured it out, trial and error?

    Jan

    ps: the truth is I am still worried, as this will be the third time I have made it work, and then it reoccurred a short time later...fingers crossed....

    I think the honours for working this out go to Hans Vogelaar

    Thanks for the compliment, but it was a collective effort - it took a while before a clear cause emerged.

    Skype has released an updated version of the Click to Call browser add-on that should be free of the problem mentioned above.
    If you want it, go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/click-to-call/windows/ and click Download Now.

    If you do not update your addin (That happens in FFox)..

    You can switch to turn off Skype addin


    And everything back to normal.

    I had this issue too.  Removed Skype to call and is now resolved.  Isn't the internet brilliant?  I never would have figured this out otherwise.

    Thanks folks.

    :)
