Clipboard not working [Resolved]

[nelson]

This probably has nothing to do with the program?

I have started having problems with copy and paste. I am trying to copy from one show to another.

Does not matter which shows or if I try to select multiple files within one show and paste at end.

The clipboard paste sometimes is greyed out, other times it will paste a previous slide.

Most of the time nothing is showing on the clipboard.

If I try to copy and paste in objects and animations there are no issues.

I can select multiple photos in other programs and it works as it should.

I have deleted the program and reinstalled running the latest version.

I have tried all the clipboard trouble shooting suggestions provided on-line.

Has anyone had clipboard issues in the past?

It seems strange it is only happening in this program.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have,

Kieron

A follow up.

The keyboard shortcut to see what is on the clipboard is windows key+V.

It will show empty when I copy in PTE.

All other programs show the copied material.

Strange!

Tried the Copy and Paste between a Project and a New Project and all is well.

Windows+V shows as below but states "V 9" - I am using latest version.

I often copy & Paste Slides from 1 project to another & have not had any problems.

Hi Kieron,

Did you try to restart Windows?

[nelson]

I have restarted windows several times and did a system restore, no difference.

I have backups that I will have to revert to after making sure I have my latest projects backed up.

I will give that a try.

It worked fine 5 days ago.

Something is corrupted?

Will follow up if I get it sorted.

Thanks everyone,

Kieron

What exactly version of PTE you use?

Do you use twop instances of PTE to copy and paste slides/objects, or one copy of PTE and switch between projects?

Update:

I think I have resolved the issue?

One slide would never copy. The slide has a splitter for background objects.

If I tried to copy several slides with this image in the sequence it caused all sorts of problems.

I ended up placing a blank slide in the new location of where I wanted it to go. I then copied all the information from objects and animation to the blank slide.

It now works, and I can even copy this new slide. That would mean the splitter was not the problem.

Mind boggling, it would never show on the clipboard until I redid the file.

Anyway, it works as it should now.

Thanks for putting up with my troubles,

Kieron

Igor,

I am using the latest version.

I tried with 2 versions open and also opening and closing the two sequences to copy from.

Kieron,

I just read your previous reply above. 

Does this problem occurs with a certain project, or with other projects, too?

If the problem occurs only with one project, please send me this .pte project (only one file). We'll check it.

[nelson]

I will check later and experiment with other projects.

Thanks for your concern Igor.

[nelson]

I have experimented with older shows and no issues.

The show I just completed that started the issue is working fine after copying the files in objects and animations to the faulty side.

I can now copy and paste with no issues.

The show I copied from that has the faulty slide still will not allow me to copy and paste it.

It is definitely corrupted.

I replaced it with the new slide. All is well.

Thanks again, 

Kieron

Kieron,

I'm glad that you resolved this problem.

You can send me a project with this slide for testing.
