Microsoft Word Copy / Paste Question
When I have just Interenet Explorer open and copy text, if I proceed to load
Microsoft Word and paste the text, I cannot do so. The text seems to "disappear" according to Word. But if I copy and paste when both programs are open, it works fine. How do I fix this? It's remarkably irritating! |

This would be a function of Windows, not Word. I suggest posting to the appropriate Windows Newsgroup. |

If you got Word as part of Works Suite, the problem is the Microsoft Works
Suite Add-in for Word, which clears the Clipboard on starting Word. You can uninstall the add-in (through Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs) without losing any functionality if you are using Word freestanding (not starting it from the Works Task Launcher). -- Suzanne S.

If so, go to the Add/Remove Programs control panel and uninstall the Works Suite Add-In for Word. That add-in, among other misdeeds, clears the clipboard when you start Word. You're far better off without it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

as Suzanne and Jay have suggested in this thread, then take a look at this article for additional information on locating the cause: "WD: The Windows Clipboard Content is Modified When Word Starts" http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;555173 Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
