Cannot paste into submission form

Post by CieleEdward »

I searched the forums for the answer to this question and although I found someone else asking the question, she never got an answer. I haven't submitted in quite a while and I noticed the submission form has changed. I can copy my article from OpenOffice just fine, but when I right-click into the submission box it does not give me the option to paste. This has never happened before. I ALWAYS have the option to paste. I don't see an option to upload the article as a file so I'm not sure what to do? Rewriting the entire article in the submission box is not an option. I really hate the idea that I won't be able to use CC anymore just because I can't paste into the submission box. There has GOT to be a way to do this.

Hi, I am very pleased to pass on this tip which works for me. I had posted the same question and someone gave me the answer, so I hope it works for you too....

If you hover with your mouse just round the top left hand corner of the text box, the arrow should turn into a cursor thingy, and only at that point can you paste! Odd, eh?

Hope it works!

An alternative option, I paste using Ctrl-V and that works fine,even though when you click in the box it doesn't look like it'll work!
