Work At Home Message Boards

Can you tell me why it won’t let me cut and paste from the internet into Publisher?
I’m about to do next month’s newsletter for the residential home I work at. Although I can cut and paste text. It won’t let me do the same for pictures.
In the past it didn’t bother me that much as I would print the desired picture out and scan it but my sister dropped my scanner and I haven’t been able to replace it yet.
You can only use clip art for so long before you’re gagging to use a serious picture or a photo.
When I try, I get a message saying that the clip board is busy with another application. But usually the only other application open is Publisher into which I’m trying to paste the blooming picture.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I can stop the clipboard from being so busy so that I’ll actually be able to use it?
I’ve tried the ctrl c & v thing and I just get the same message.
Close Publisher and restart your pc. Then open Paint. Copy and paste the photos into Paint, save them as Bitmaps in your My Pics folder.
Then close the internet, open Publisher and use them form the My Pics folder.
Fingers crossed!
