Blocking Clipboard

[Mark.Kolber]

I tried to search a bit and could not find anything on this. Has anyone
else noticed behavior in which Outlook apparently empties the clipboard
when a something new is opened? Here's an example i can reproduce at
will:

1. In a mail message, copy some text to the clipboard.
2. Open a new contact.
3. Paste the copied text into the new contact memo field.

Whenever I do this, nothing pastes. The clipboard is empty.

If you switch steps 1 and 2, it works just fine.

I am using Outlook 2003. I do not use the MSO multiple clipboard.

Thanks.

Perhaps it is an add-in for contacts installed which comes with it`s
own menu bar?

If so, perhaps the developer copies his symbol for this bar to the
clipboard and after that to the menu entry. In this case the clipboard
could be empty if the developer do not restore it after his action.

Best Regards
Peter
