I also have had this slow paste problem for a few months now. I don’t have a
solution but, do have more information.
I have Windows XP Home & Word 2002 from Works 2002 & it had worked fine for
over 1 year. I regularly update scan for viruses with NAV 2004 & use Ad
Aware SE to remove spyware.
I can still paste normally (a few seconds) from IE 6 text into WordPad.
When I try to paste into Word it takes several minutes (even if just pasting
text & no pictures)
This problem DOES NOT OCCUR if I paste from Netscape into Word!
The work-a-round has been to paste from IE into WordPad & then from WordPad
into Word (Yes, it’s an annoying waste of time.)
I have repaired Word through “Add/Remove Programs†in Control Panel –no help.
I have tried shutting down NAV to see if this was causing delay -- perhaps
by NAV scanning for viruses as I pasted – no help.
I’m out of ideas.
