I was in the middle of adding a hyperlink to a document when I noticed

What might cause this, and how can I undo it? I can honestly say I've
never seen it before. Many thanks in advance.

Happens all the time to me. Sometimes closing and opening an application or two takes care of it; sometimes a reboot is in order. Meanwhile, there are generally three ways each to effect a copy, a cut, and a paste: from the Edit menu, from the keyboard, and from the context menu. You don't say which method failed, but for me it's usually the keyboard shortcuts that quit working. When that happens, I switch to the context menu (I haven't seen that become disabled yet). Then I reboot when it's convenient for me to do so.

Good luck,

Dick
