Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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? |

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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? -- Enjoy, Tony "Richard" wrote in message ...

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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.

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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. -- Enjoy, Tony "Richard" wrote in message news It continutes to appear with it's contents intact however, unable to paste from it.

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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 "Tony Jollans" wrote: 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.

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. -- Enjoy, Tony "fred646" wrote in message ...

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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. "Tony Jollans" wrote: It changed format between Word 2000 and Word 2003.

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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. -- Enjoy, Tony "ChecMark" wrote in message news New here.

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
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.

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
Hi ChecMark,
Sounds like you've got a stuck Print Screen key. -- Enjoy, Tony "ChecMark" wrote in message ... 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. "Tony Jollans" wrote: 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. , Tony 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. -- Enjoy, Tony "ChecMark" wrote in message news New here.

Office Clipboard Task Pane stops functioning
Some interesting and very weird additional things are happening. I was
composng a new email and did a cut and paste just for curiousity. What pasted was a complete screen capture of my Outlook and the new email and the Paste command menu. I then went into my Corel PSP program and did a paste to see if I got the same thing. What I got was a complete screen capture of my Corel Desktop, complete with the paste command menu shown. It appears that somehow "copy" is grabbing a compete screen capture of what I'm working on and not what I selected to copy. This is probably the reason the file is beyond full because, instead of snippets of text copied, it's grabbing the entire screen. "ChecMark" wrote: Thank you, Tony. No, it's not a FrontPage issue.
