Unless I open Word 2002 before I copy, the paste option is not available. Why?

G'Day Wynswid,

I have been told in these newsgroups that, on opening, Word
clears the Windows Clipboard as it initialises the Office
Clipboard.

This is not, in fact, true.

For a full explanation see:

If you got Word as part of Works Suite and have not uninstalled the
Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word, that is the problem: it clears the
Clipboard when you start Word.
