This problem is always confusing me, anyone else met the same problem. Ctrl+X is OK , but when I try to CTRL +V , nothing was pasted.

A problem in your Windows operating system? Dec 17, 2011

Works alright over here. To me, this sounds like some issue in your Clipboard in Windows. I don't know how to reset the Clipboard, but you may want to check the web for solutions about resetting/emptying Windows' Clipboard.

Since it only occurs in MemoQ, I think it is problem of MemoQ. In MS WORD and other applications, CTRL+X, CTRL +V is OK.

Report it to Kilgray Dec 17, 2011

Hm... I reckon it would be best to report this to Kilgray's support email. Do describe the kind of document (supply a copy if doing so does not violate your privacy obligations) and indicate your exact language combination. It could be a bug.

maybe Skype toolbar? Dec 17, 2011

Hi Jing,

We have seen this happen if the Skype toolbar is installed, can you please check if that is there? It takes over some of the clipboard functionality in not a very nice way.

Best regards,
István

Solution to the problem Feb 22

Hi, I have been having this same problem. I did not know the reason why but, based on your suggestion, I have uninstalled Skype, and the functionality is back again. I can cut & paste now as I used to before Skype.

Thank you so much for your help, it has been most valuable.

There are alternative shortcuts for cutting and pasting Feb 22

I just wanted to add that you could have also tried the following, alternative keyboard shortcuts:

- Ctrl+Insert for copying
- Shift+Delete for cutting
- Shift+Insert for pasting

I do experience the same malfunction.
It began when I installed Win7. I do not have Skype on my PC. So what is to be uninstalled else in my case? Windows7 I guess...
