Thank you, Tony. No, it's not a FrontPage issue. This is just where I first
noticed it. It happens in all Office programs, and the clipboard is acting
erratically everywhere. I cannot copy and paste the simplest thing now. I
have rebooted several times. I read on Microsoft site somewhere that the
clipboard should empty on reboot, but I still have 24 unrecognizable objects
in there. I ran clipbrd.exe again a little while ago and it just keeps
flashing with what looks like screenshots of my desktop. It runs forever
until I abort.

I don't know anything to explain what you describe, but a couple of things.
Firstly I think you are confusing the Office Clipboard and the Windows
Clipboard. The Office Clipboard (with the 24 items) is an Office extension
to the Windows Clipboard.

Both Windows and Office Clipboards, AFAIK, only use memory - I don't believe
there is any file anywhere which stores clipboard items. Do you still have
the problem if you reboot?
I don't use FrontPage and there may be something specific within it that
causes your problem. If you need any further help I would suggest you ask in
a FrontPage newsgroup rather than a Word one as you are more likely to find
people with FrontPage expertise there.

New here. Sorry, I may have posted a blank message. Wasn't sure of the
process. I was working in FrontPage and copied some code from one page to
another, but what pasted was not what I copied. I opened the clipboard and
it
showed greyed out icons for 7 of 24 items. I selected "clear all" but my
computer just crunched and crunched for half an hour and nothing happened.
I
started clipboard.exe to see if there was a way to clear the contents.
When
the window popped up, there was what looked like a constant flashing of
items, but I could not close the window. I aborted the process. I ran the
Office reinstall selecting the repair option, but nothing changed. I have
searched the KB exhaustively for any way to clear the clipboard, but can't
find anything. I was hoping to find the file where the items are stored,
to
possibly delete this file, but can find no reference to this.

It changed format between Word 2000 and Word 2003.
Do the items not show listed in the Pane?
If not, what options are selected if you click on Options at the bottom?

Thanks for responding- its 'shows' in a pane, but not in grid in the
middle
of the page as it did originally, where you can sellow the items you
want
to
paste

Are you saying the office clipboard no longer shows? If so, show it
explicitly with Edit Office Clipboard and then look at the Options
(button
at the bottom).
Or are you saying it shows but does not collect? In which case,
again,
look
at the Options behind the button.

I'm having a similar problem with Word 2003 where the clipboard no
longer
shows a grid of copied items when you want to place several words
pieces
on
it. It used to do that and nothing much has changed in software
or
harware
before it stopped.
-any simple fix?
thanks

Reinstalling isn't difficult and does fix some problems but,
generally
speaking, if a repair hasn't solved the problem a reinstall
probably
won't
either.
I don't know what may cause the problem (and I don't know what
you
consider
a soft boot); all I can do is offer some thoughts and maybe some
things
to
try.
You say you can't paste - is that any item?. What a paste does
is
effectively a dual action, copying from the Office clipboard to
the
Windows
clipboard and pasting to the destination. As you can paste
normally
(from
the Windows clipboard) it must be the copy from the Office
clipboard
that is
failing.
You say the office clipboard continues to appear with contents
intact -
does
it continue to gather copied items?
Can you delete individual office clipboard entries - or delete
all /
clear?
Can you do a paste all?
Can you use the office clipboard normally in other office
applications?
If any of the above work, do they affect later actions in any
way?
Is it a particular type of data that triggers / causes the
problem?
Or
always in a particular document (or a document based on a
particular
template)?
If this always happens around the same time, is there something
else
happens
around that time? Or does it appear to be a cumulative effect of
just
doing
'too much' copying? Does the clipboard contain 24 items when it
fails?
Sorry not to be more helpful.

It continutes to appear with it's contents intact however,
unable
to
paste
from it. A soft reboot doesn't fix the issue since the next
morning
with
a
hard boot fixes the problem. I think we're going to be
reduced to
a
reinstall rather than spend more time on the issue.

Does it stop *functioning* - or stop appearing?
If it happens every day that implies it works again after
(a) a
restart
of
Word (b) a reboot or (c) some overnight process. Which might
it
be? -
does
closing Word and reopening restore it? - or rebooting?

I have an installation of Office 2003 on one of my desks
with
an
end
user
that uses the clipboard taskpane heavily. Every day
around
2:00
the
clipboard stops functioning. He still has the ability to
cut
and
paste
the
normal way just not through clipboard. I've tried running
a
repair
office
and that didn't seem to work. Any thoughts?
