How can I prevent clearing clipboard when I start Word?
If I paste data to my Windows clipboard in another application, and then open
Word, it deletes the contents I have added to the clipboard. I would like to be able to open Word without clearing the clipboard. |

If you have Word 2002 as part of Works Suite, then the Works
Suite Add-In for Word clears the Windows clipboard when Word starts. You can uninstall the add-in by clicking on Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, but you will lose the ability to use a Works data source in a Word mailmerge if you do this. If you have a Bluetooth device installed, the Bluetooth add-in for Word has also been known to clear the Windows clipboard when Word starts.

Not meaning to be overly simplistic but maybe the simple solution is
just to start Word first and leave it running in the background. I think you actually have to activate the Clipboard so that it will gather up everything you cut or copy.

Actually, this doesn't usually happen. I think it's a side effect of having
Word as part of the Works Suite, and having the Works Suite Add-in installed in Word, or somesuch. You can uninstall this Add-in. Search the group, you'll find plenty of references to this previously and more concrete directions on what you need to uninstall. On 9/2/05 9:20 AM, "Rob R." wrote: duh.
