We wrote a web service that receives a set of data and uses word to
format it. Upon each request, the web service launches its own instance
of word. The problem we've encountered is that multiple simultaneous
requests will return mixed up data. After investigation on the matter,
we discovered that all instances of word are using the same clipboard.

How can we overcome this, and make sure that for one word instance we
have one clipboard area (remember that this launched by a web service)?

TIA.

The server is running Windows2000, the app is written in C# and is
using Microsoft.NET Framework v1.1.4322.
