Cannot "Clear" Clipboard in Office 2003 - recalcitrant images rema

K

I have problems with Copy/Paste in XP Pro and Office 2003 applications -
simply I cannot cut/copy & paste by using the Edit Menu or Mouse actions.
When I copy and then paste - I basically get the current Prt SCreen image
pasted into Word (or other Office 2003 App.)
I have reformatted C Drive 3 times and re-installed Windows XP Pro (Sp2) -
but this weird problem persists.
Last night I discovered that "Clipboard" which appears as an option in Word
- CANNOT be cleared of 4 recalcitrant images.
I do not have viruses or worms that I am aware of and have run Registry
Mechanic.
What suggestions (polite ones) can more learned people provide to help me
get my Copy and Paste functionality back?

Cheers - Kep _ Melbourne Australia

This problem is often caused by a bad plug-in or often a Bluetooth driver.
By foremost, clean out your temp folder (it should be empty when all
applications are closed). See the following FAQ to help clean up:

If cleaning up doesn't help, start Word in safe mode and test:
from Start, Run, type in

winword /a

and press enter. Word starts in its default install mode bypassing all
templates and add-ins. Test it now and see if you can copy/paste.
