    I used to be able to copy and paste from HTML sources to MS Word 2003 and it would paste all the info including tables, formating etc. Now it seems that there has been a change somewhere that now only allows me to do this from IE7 to Word and if I try to copy from Firefox or Opera all I get is plain text. Does anyone know why this is now the case? and if it is a Microsoft change, isn't it against the law to limit a non-Microsoft applications capabilities?

      There was a recent service pack for Office 2003 and it definitely changes some functionality. Perhaps this might be one of the features that has changed?
