Incorrect content from Scrapbook, clipboard

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have a demo movie at http://web.me.com/tlmurray/filechute/Scrapheap.zip that I made with Captivate. It unzips into three files. It's one meg.

Basically, objects I place into the Scrapheap, when pasted back, paste the wrong thing. I placed three rows from a table into the Scrapheap, where one cell contains an icon. When pasted back into the document, Word decides to use the last icon used for all three. Occasionally, no graphic appears at all ... just the placeholder (and yes, preferences are correct).

I tried a third-party clipboard product PTHPasteboard, and it did the same thing (http://web.me.com/tlmurray/filechute/Graphics.mov)
However, when pasting from it into Apple Pages and Zengobi Curio, it worked fine. At this point it may appear as a Word bug but get this: It pastes incorrectly into Apple Mail. If anyone wants to play with the document, it's at http://web.me.com/tlmurray/filechute/SampleA.docx

Unless anyone knows that the issue is the way Word populates the clipboard, I am thinking it is a problem with the operating system.
