Just like it says in the title. When I cut and paste a web address from my browser's address bar, it pastes as Greek text and turns everything on that line Greek.



It also changes the language setting on the windows taskbar to Greek, and even after highlighting the Greek text and changing the language setting back to English, it stays Greek.

Text pastes just fine, it's only links that do this.

Any thoughts on why it is doing this and how I can fix it?

This is a very unusual problem. Does this happen no matter which link you paste?

If you paste the link as Unformatted Text, does it still happen? You can make use of the Keep Text Only option on the Paste Options button.

Are you running some add-in with Word?
