Word Hangs when copying text

[db]

I am having an issue with copying text between Office X 11.1 apps
(Running OS X 10.3.8). If I copy a table from excel into word, no
matter the size of the table word hangs (spinning ball) and will not
recover, force quit will not work, a restart is the only thing that
stops it.

Also copying from Word (notebook view) into PowerPoint also causes the
same thing. I have tried deleting the office preferences, repairing
permissions, disk repair, etc. Nothing seems to solve the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
David

I guess it isn't Office X, 11.1 is Office 2004 I guess.

Try following the troubleshooting guidelines here:

Checking your Normal template and looking for font conflicts are the big
ones, given what you've tried already.

Ok I will give that a try and report back here. Thanks.
