I have ChessBase 17 and I have been cut and pasting games into Word docs. since the Days of Morphy. But it now seems not to function try as I might. Do I need the new CB? There may be other solutions (not sure).
I like to do UTube chats - I call them chinwags - but despite asking many learned sages still don't know how to incorporate a board and men on screen to examine games. Who please can help?

Re: Two Questions
Save the games as PGNs (text files) which can then be cut and pasted into a Word document?

Re: Two Questions
Hi James,
First of all my sympathies. I learned back in the 1990's once you have a working system never upgrade. I work with CB10, Fritz6 and WORD from 1998.
Without seeing what is wrong and how you are going about it I can suggest;
Use 'Copy Position' in CB and then onto WORD use 'Paste Special' and go then 'BMP.'
You should get an exact copy of what your board looks like on C.B. and you
can adjust the size of the diagram in WORD.
If 'copy position' is not functioning then it could be a conflict issue.
Only run C.B. the game you want and WORD. Shut everything else down.
Regarding UTube. I've no idea though due to the number of people doing them it must be fairly simple.
