Missing "paste" function on Word 2007 Home tab

Question

In the ribbon of my Word 2007, I'm missing the "paste" function on the home tab.  Any ideas how to find it or add it?

Answer 1

Can you see *File* which s right abvoe Paste?  If the answer is no, it sounds like your screen resolution is slight askwe.

Answer 2

Wow, you're right - I do have 2010!  And your solution worked - thanks for your help!

Answer 3

Yes, I can see "file".  However, what is right below it is the "font" box., not "paste."

Answer 4

Here's what prompted the question above:

[My question]: 

I do a lot of cutting and pasting of tables from web sites into Word.  In Word 2003, this mostly worked smoothly, with the table being copied into Word and preserving the table layout.  But whenever I do this in Word 2007, the data often comes into the Word document not as a table but just lines of text.  Regardless of which paste option I choose, (keep source formatting, merge formatting, use destination style,keep text only), I rarely can get it to copy the data into a table layout.

Any ideas how to do that?

[Answer from Microsoft Answers]: What happens if you click Home tab | Paste | Paste Special and then specifically choose, say, "Formatted Text (RTF)"?

This is when I realized there was no "paste' on my ribbon and apparently I need it to copy tables.  Ctrl+v  doesn't work for my purposes.

The Paste button is in the Clipboard section at the left hand end of the Home tab of the Ribbon.  If it is not there, you may have an Add-in loaded that is modifying the Ribbon.  As an alternative, you can use Ctrl+v to perform the paste function in all Windows programs.
