Sometimes I select something in another application for subsequent addition
to a Word2003 document.

But now I find that Word2003 has to be actually open for this to happen.
That is if I open Word after the select/copy step has been performed I find
that the select/copy has been lost and I am forced to repeat the action.

Is there some setting I have missed, because I thought these select/copy
went to a 'clipboard' which is an independent applicatioon.

Please help, Frank

Is this copy of Word part of Works Suite, or an upgrade of Works
Suite? The Works Add-In for Word is known to clear the Windows
clipboard when Word starts; and there may be other add-ins that play
the same dirty trick.
