Cannot copy or paste to clipboard

J

John K.

I am unable to use the copy & paste feature of office. I am running Office XP
Pro / Windows XP Home / Frontpage 2003. Several months ago the problem
started when opening FrontPage 2000. I would get a "unable to copy icon"
error. Slowly the problem started affecting all programs trying to use copy
and paste. I replaced FP2000 with FP2003. I have run the repair of Office
with no change. Now all programs are being affected. I have seen other
message with this type of problem. Does anybody know what I should do???

Thanks
John

Is the clipboard open for each office program? If not open it. I have found
that sometimes the office applications hide existing clipboard information.
Open the clipboard on each office application then close and open it again
and the stuff will appear.
