I am having a problem copying anything formatted in Word 2000. When I Paste
Special, it tells me the Source is Unknown and only allows me to paste as
Unformatted Text or Unformatted Unicode Text.

Please help !

The only time I've ever seen this is when using a Virtual Machine, and the
focus moves out of the VM.

If you're seeing this on a "normal" system, then you probably have some
third-party software interfering with the clipboard. If you boot Windows in
Safe Mode can you copy/paste normally in Word?

I did find a PDF Complete plugin to be the culprit

Thanks
