Currently we are using Microsoft SharePoint 2010. In the Rich Text Editor their is a Paste option in which a user can copy from say a Word document and paste it in their content place holder. Right now I recieve an error message when trying to use the paste button " Your browser is not configured to allow access to your computer’s clipboard. Use Control+X for Cut, Control+C for Copy, and Control+V for paste". I cannot use the paste button for whatever reason. I have tried to change my javascript file within FireFox and it still doesnt work. After working with Microsoft on the problem they informed me that it was FireFox causing the problem and suggested I contact you for information or possible fixes.

If have the addon noscript, you have set the parameter "noscript.allowclipboard" in "about:config" to "true"!

At least clipboard operations for some webparts do work now for me. But unfortunatly not in the wiki section.
