Igor...thanks for the tip

my CWndBrowser class is a CAXWindow and also now a CMessageFilter
PreTranslateMessage looks like:
BOOL CWndBrowser::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
 if((pMsg->message < WM_KEYFIRST || pMsg->message > WM_KEYLAST) &&
  (pMsg->message < WM_MOUSEFIRST || pMsg->message > WM_MOUSELAST))
   return FALSE;

  // give HTML page a chance to translate this message
  return (BOOL)SendMessage(WM_FORWARDMSG, 0, (LPARAM)pMsg);
}

The paste now works for the WBC that is in edit mode, however copy still
doesn't work. What's interesting is this:
the menu has the following options:
cut/copy/paste/select all/print with cut and paste greyed out (this menu
pops up if I right click on selected text)
if I click on select all or print they work
if I click on copy it doesn't
