Copy and Paste

Dec 7, 2003 5:56AM PST

Was highlighting certain text on a web site instead of select all, and copied it, then went to word pad to paste it, it would not paste, so I hit paste special, and in that box it was on rich text RTF, I moved it down to unformatted text and it pasted ok, could someone please explain the difference to me, dont ever remember doing that before, first time I have even opened that paste special box. Thanks

Ronnie
