Clipboard item disappears when loading Word
Why does the Clipboard item disappear when I load Word? The Clipboard
operates normally after I load Word but any item on the Clipboard before loading the program disappears as soon as Word loads which forces me to copy the item to the Clipboard again. |

There are numerous add-ins that clear the Clipboard when you start Word. The
most notorious is the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word. Did you get Word as part of Works Suite? If so, and if you are always running Word freestanding (not starting it from the Works Task Launcher) uninstall the add-in (using Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs), as you don't need it, and this is only one of its nasty habits. -- Suzanne S.

Clipboard item disappears when loading Word
I did get the upgrade for Word as part of the Works Suite. Previously I
had the stand-alone version of Word. I do run Word freestanding. I followed you advice to uninstall the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word but the Clipboard problem remains. I did reboot the computer after uninstalling. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you. Nick Cellino Suzanne S.

It's possible that another add-in is causing the problem. See

Thanks again Suzanne. I followed in the instructions on the page you
provided. I unchecked the two Global Templates and Add-ins so they wouldn't load and also unchecked "Web Page Wizard", the only COM Add-in. However the problem is still unresolved ... loading Word empties the Clipboard. Nick Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: It's possible that another add-in is causing the problem.
