For some reason I cannot copy and paste things into guild wars chat. At all. This may have nothing to do with it but I'm using vista 64bit. Any suggestions?

yes if your copying and pasting links, you can put them in the text field for skill bar name on the template code interface and then send that to chat.

I can't paste anything, at all, into guild wars chat, or template interface.

Yes, I know that, but it doesn't work inside guild wars.

The problem is that your clipboard program is either disabled or locked up.

Try a full reboot.

Google shows many reasons why: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ng&btnG=Search
One of the better links I saw: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Clipboard_not_working

The mozillazine article mentions a couple of malware intrusions that cause the problem as well as some common normal operation problems that cause the issue.

I rebooted, but that didn't fix it.

I can copy and paste fine outside of guild wars, but I will look into the links you posted.

Try using the Left/Right CTRL.

Right CTRL doesn't work for me inside GW, but Left CTRL does.

i can copy/paste anything i want into the chat bar. if you can't then you may have the same problem as OP. i can't copy/paste anything that's already been "said" in the chat window, though, if that's what you mean.

yeah you can copy and paste chatting messages and template codes in gw.
I think its the vista64 bit that's the problem for the op.

Aha! The Left ctrl works for me! Thank you for suggesting that, I just always used the right ctrl. Kind of dumb that the right ctrl doesn't work.

Thanks so much!

didn't even know people used the right ctrl button for copy and paste since the left ctrl button is right next to c and v . ..
