Message One of the small annoyances is that when you highlight text in the help file (including VBA help file) and use CTRL-C, it doesn't actually add the selected text to the clipboard.

Instead it is necessary to right-click and choose Copy.

Any chance this could be fixed, so that CTRL-C worked in the help file?

Thanks,
Steve

Message Stephen,

I was not able to reproduce this issue...which page in help are you having this problem with?

Message Hi Jeremy,

It took me a while to work out what was going on since this is a bit inconsistent. I seem to be able to reproduce the problem doing this:

- Open the VBA Editor in ArcMap
- Type the word "IMxDocument" into the ThisDocument section
- Highlight the word
- Hit F1 to open the ArcGIS VBA Developer Help

(The actual word you type isn't important - the key point is that this instance of the help file is initiated by highlighting a keyword and hitting F1)

When this instance of the help file is open, CTRL-C doesn't actually copy the selected text into the clipboard.

If I open the VBA Developer help using > Start > Programs, I can copy using CTRL-C.

Thanks,
Steve
