Hi fellows,

Is it possible to use copy/paste function in online application ? In some schools, it is not possible to copy a text from a word document and paste it into the online application. Is it so, or am I missing something ?
Thanks

Hello,
Did you try to change the browser?
The same thing happened to me with Google Chrome, but I could copy and paste with Firefox.

Thanks Snake, I will try it when I get back home, and do it as you say.
That was really a life saver, thanks again
I hope that it will work

I think there are some cases where you cannot copy/paste though. Like in the sections where they have a character limit listed. I tried in Chrome and Safari but maybe there is a way around it.

It's a Chrome problem, try the regular IE. Works like a charm.
