For some reason I can no longer copy text from a word file into my publisher 
document. A blank box appears with no copy.

If I open a new Publisher file, I can copy the text.

Please help. I'm in the middle of a project where I've copied about 1/2 of 
the text into Publisher.

What steps are you taking to copy the text?

Open the Office Clipboard (Edit, Office Clipboard) in both Word and Publisher. 
Does it paste now? Sometimes a simple re-boot of your computer will cure this 
situation.
