Default Pasting from Web Pages into Word 2003 is broken

I had a support call come in today, and can't work it out at all. Now I see
that I have the same issue! But not everybody here has this issue. We all run
the same SOE, with Office 2003, but about 50% of users seem to be
experiencing thi issue.

We can't copy any text from web sites (even just one word or a few
characters) and paste it into Word 2003. The paste option appears on the
right-click menu, but it doesn't do anything. If I choose "Paste
Special"
then "Unformatted Text" then the text appears without formatting.

Paste is working fine into Excel, Outlook, Notepad, Wordpad etc. Just not
into Word 2003.

Here is a page I was trying to copy text from:

Does anyone have a good answer to this problem please? I am facing the same
issues today. Problem only occurs with word 2003. No add-ons.

Os is Win 7 HP 32-bit. Ran CCleaner registry cleaner, also Comodo registry
cleaner. Then re-install of office 2003. It is really annoying and i think is
happening since uninstall of Office 2010 trial today (probably a deliberate
ploy
by MS to upgrade....but Outlook 2010 trial is horribly slow compared to 2003)

Actually, the issue seems to be really occuring when i switch from any
application to then Word 2003, it hangs for 5-10 sec with timer and cpu usage
goes high. Strange.
