Default copying text with Word's macro recorder

Hi everyone,

I am trying to set up a macro that, among other things, involves copying text to the clipboard, then later pasting that text into the address field of the Insert Hyperlink pop-up box. However, it seems that Word is unable to recognize the copy-text function (at least through the recorder).

What happens is that the pasted text reflects whatever was on the clipboard before running the macro (rather than the text that was supposed to be copied during the macro).

Does anyone have experience with a workaround for this? I have read that even the VBA is buggy for simple copy and paste, but I do not know much VBA at all, hence the recorder.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
