I can copy any text from outside Entourage 2004 into Entourage, but I
cannot copy or cut any text inside an entourage email. I am not sure
when I lost that capability.

More specifically:

when I try to copy a text block in an email and then paste it in the
email, the program pastes a text block that I copied earlier from some
other program. The "cut" command gets no response.

Any ideas?

I suspect that you are trying to copy from 'complex html' emails - I often
find that these seem to ignore the copy command. In many cases, it is also
difficult to select text, never mind copy it.

I know of no fix for this.
