Help with Word 2002

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I wonder if any one can help with a slight problem I have with Word
2002.

It came with my computer about 2 years ago in Works Suite 2003.
The problem is that I cannot copy and paste from another program if
Word is running and sitting on the taskbar. If Word is not running,
and I copy a program and then start Word, paste is grayed out.

I think, but am not certain that it worked o.k when I first got the
computer. I have removed Word 2000 from the computer and reinstalled
Word 97 from an old computer, and that doesn't have the same problem.
Paste is showing whether I have the program running or not. Would SP2
be the cause of the problem? as when I got the computer it wasn't
available.

Hoping someone can say if I have a problem or not.

Thanks

If Word came installed as part of Works Suite then the Microsoft Works
Suite Add-in for Word (COM Add-in) is known to clear the contents of the
Windows Clipboard when Word starts.

Start Word first, then copy and paste.

Or follow the procedures here to remove the Works Suite add-in

WD The Windows Clipboard Content is Modified When Word Starts
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555173

This applies to Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003.
