I have been having a problem recently when pasting copied information.
When I paste, Word does not paste the copied selection into the
document, instead it pastes a copy of what is on my computer screen at
the time I copied a selection. I have gone into the clipboard to try
to fix it. Every time I go into it there is something in it. Even
after I delete it it shows up when I go back in - even when I have not
copied something. For example, as I am writing this Word is in the
background and I have deleted all contents in the clipboard so there
is nothing listed to paste. I kept the clipboard open. When I switched
back to Word after typing something here (and not copying anything)
the clipboard had something in the first box. Options listed were
"paste all" and the delete icon. On the top of the clipboard box it
states "clipboard (1 of 12)". I can not get this to go away and past a
copied text item.

HELP.

Reboot your computer and see if that fixes it. I think you may have more
than one version of one office program holding the Office Clipboard open.
