You could have a Word add-in that clears the Windows clipboard
when Word starts. Try opening both Word and Outlook Express
before you copy from Outlook Express.

Hi, I am selecting (copying) a subject I received in my email (Outlook
Express) and want to paste it onto a blank page to include in a letter. The
copy and paste are both grayed out. Why? I can type on the blank page but not
paste this. What do I need to do?
