the icon is unfamiliar, what PDF application do you have installed? it
sounds like you are trying to paste an object, not plain text - if you use
paste special, as text it should work on one paste or paste into notepad
first, then copy and paste from notepad.

Dear Users:
When I copy text from a word document or elsewhere and try to paste to a
new Outlook e-mail I'm composing I get the following ICON ( a small PDF
icon)
and I can't paste.
In order to proceed, I have to copy and try to paste again.
Please help me on this matter.

Artur
