    I have the same issue.

    My book is a programmers book so I often need to copy bits of code offered as examples. I have been able to copy and paste small bits up until this morning: l copied the vba portion of the code demonstrated and when i came back for the xml portion, the copy button was disabled and i can't reactivate it

    Are there a limit of copy paste allowed?

    The only work around I fount was to insert notes: I can type in there what i see on the screen and than paste it in my vba editor. sucks but its easier than having to deal with side by side windows and such.
