Chosen solution

As a general rule, you should be able to paste by using one of the three methods supplied by the browser:

  • Ctrl+v
  • orange Firefox button > Edit > Paste or classic Edit menu > Paste
  • right-click > Paste

However, if the editor has a little paste button, that might be blocked by security restrictions. I'm not sure it's worth trying to make those buttons work (as I think you've discovered from your question).

Thank you very much, it worked. The first two were allowed me to past my tekst from Word, but the "Right click" still doesn't work (even after I followed Mozillas instructions and made changes they have suggested) Thanks again. Regards
