Without knowing what version of Works you have, we have no way of telling whether or not it's a version compatible with 7. It might be a small wonder it works at all, let alone only crashing when you try and copy/paste.
Whenever I try to copy and paste something onto a new page in "Microsoft Works Word Processor" it says it "has stopped working--A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." This happens every time I try to do this. I can type directly onto a new page. My system is Windows 7.
Thanks for any help.
