I am able to cut whole pages (including all the navigation) and paste them into Word without crashing my computer without any problems.
Even the tables and pictures from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_wildfires_of_October_2007 worked well.
WinXP: Firefox and IE7 --> MS Word 2002 Vista: Firefox and IE --> MS Word 2007
Hope that helps

One doubt-u said about copy/pasting from Word to MW. Are using any WYSWYG editor in MW? Otherwise I guess formattign will be lost when u copy/paste to MW. Are you aware of the fact that there's a macro avaialbe for MS Word to convert word documents to wiki format, os that in one click you can get the formatted document in your wiki. Also, in OpenOffice, you can export the document to wiki format.

Hi everybody,
has anybody noticed crashes of MS Word when cut&pasting from a MediaWiki page (not the wikitext, the actual page display)?
I've observed this behavior here at work and short of recommending to switch to OpenOffice (something that won't go down with the MS addicted IT dpt), I'm not quite sure what else to say.
