very strange icon with copy-paste

[Francesco]

Office XP regularly updated, Windows XP Pro regularly updated-SP2..... Last
drivers for Video Card (ATI 9600), audio card (Audigy 2) etc...AMD
2500+.....

Hi! When I make a selection from a web page (IE6) (text, figures....) and
copy it , when I try to paste it in Word (ONLY the first time) in Word
appears a strange little coloured icon (it remenbers a mobile phone or a
calculator). To paste I have to go back, do again COPY and the paste will
work. ???????. I find it very strange. This is a bug present from several
months and it is present also after formatting HD and reinstalled all
programs. Any suggetsion? Thanks

This problem seems to be caused by BlueTooth drivers.

Yes, there's a DLL (CSH.DLL) that replaces the contents of the Windows
Clipboard when Word (and Excel) start.

You can disable the DLL but this will also disable the functionality
integrated with Word and Excel. Otherwise the only other solution is
to start the application before copying anything.
