MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / January 2004Can't paste from foreign sources
When I cut from foreign source (such as an Internet page, or a different program) I cannot paste in Word 2003 unless I have the program open first. It is as if the act of opening Word 2003 deletes whatever is on the clipboard, as I am able to paste my item on any number of other programs (Excel, Quark, etc.) which were not open beforehand, but as soon as I open Word the paste is gone (and then I cannot paste it anywhere else either). This was not a problem in Word 97. Hi Rocky, Probably some add-in messes with the clipboard, most likely the Works add-in. If it is the Works add-in, you can remove it from the Windows Control Panel > Software. IIRC, it doesn't really serve any purpose that would atone for the troubles it causes. Greetings, Klaus That seems to have done the trick, Klaus. Thanks. I searched around the Microsoft website to see if I could find out what that add-in does. I could not even find any references to it! --Rocky >-----Original Message----- >Hi Rocky, [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >. The Works Suite Add-in integrates some Works functionality in Word such as: - Works Task Launcher - Works Templates - Works Mail Merge functionality, (if you are using a Works Address book) - Word to Works converter. That's what it was designed to do anyway. What is really does is clear the Windows Clipboard when Word starts, cause Word to crash on exit, dirties Normal.dot each time Word starts (and if you automatically allow Word to save changes to Normal.dot it can lead to the corruption of Normal.dot), over/under populates the Mail Merge command under the Tools menu...shall I go on? <g>  SignaturePlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Or its best to just open Word first then Paste text into it from your foreign source.
