Paste text issue

I created a photoshop document. Previously during the creation of the document I copied some text from one box to another. Later on I created an unrelated paragraph area and tried to paste some text from another application. That’s where it gets dicey. Photoshop keeps pasting the text that I previously used. I have tried purging the Photoshop clipboard. That didn’t work. I pasted the text in other applications without problem so I must conclude that Photoshop has it’s own clipboard. If I close Photoshop and reopen it then pastes text from the clipboard. How do I make Photoshop use the text that I copied last without exiting the application.

I have Photoshop 8.0 from CS, and it works just fine when pasting from other applications, or from inside PS. It remembers the last text I copied. What version do you have?

If the "other application" was from M$ office that may be the cause of the problem.

Text copied from MS Office/Excel works fine.

I have CS2 9.0.2
This problem only happens when I have copied and pasted within Photoshop. Somehow It can’t seem to let go of the previous text and let me paste from an external app. I tried pasting from notepad as well as a wordprocessor the result was the same. I would copy some text to the windows clipboard but Photoshop would paste the old text that I copied in Photoshop previously.

restarting photoshop is the only fix i’ve found when the ps clipboard goes wonky harry.

There is also the ‘edit/purge/Undo|Clipboard|Histories|All’ command that should prevent a restart being necessary. Available in CS2 when there is clipboard or memrory data to be purged.
