I have just tested paste bullets to OE from word or html site, it does work. What is your problem? What are you trying to paste? Could you post a paste example?
That is very odd. When I tried posting yesterday this happened all the time. Same thing last week when I did trainings with my staff.
But now... it seems I cannot reproduce the error, neither in the ez installation or mine. Will report back if it happens again, wondering if it might have had to do with very little memory left on my computer when I pasted.
