MS Word 2003 Clipboard not working well!

[Chris]

Hi. I have a problem with the Word clipboard. These are the problems I am
having:

1) the copy/paste feature is very erratic. It sometimes copies/pastes the
text sometimes not. (When right-click to paste, paste option does not come
up).
2) When i copy a link to be pasted in an email or document, the previous
pasted text shows up.
3) It only pastes the exact text I need from a Word to Word file.
4) When I copy/paste text from a website to a Word document it does not
paste the text I need but the previous copy/paste (from Word to Word).

I have done the 'Detect and repair' feature in Word but still not solved.

What can I do to repair this clipboard as I am sure that that it is the
problem.

Frequently clipboard problems are created by malware infestations.

Try clearing your cache. No guarantees, of course, but worth a shot.

This did not help at all. What does this got to do with the cipboard in
Word? Anybody else have a better idea?

Because a full cache can cause odd problems in other programs. I said there
were no guarantees.
