Have you rebooted since the problem occurred? I find that clipboard problems
usually are a temporary glitch that is fixed upon rebooting.
If rebooting doesn't solve the problem, I would check to see if there are
add-ins present that are modifying the behavior of the clipboard.
Does the problem occur only in Word, but in other Office applications, as
well? What about in non-Office applications such as Notepad or Wordpad?
