clipboard empty after re-opening Word

Guest

Using Word 2003 SP2

When I add items to the clipboard, they are there until I open Word again.
Some items have a Word icon and some have an icon that I've never seen
(appears to be a piece of paper with a green dot on the left side). The
pasted items with the icon+ dot remain, but any pasted Word items disappear.
I have tried deleting all items and re-copying them, but they still disappear.

I have looked for add-ins and don't see anything under Tools/Templates and
Add-ins. I have also looked in the STARTUP folders (under my specific
profile and also under Program Files/Microsoft Office) and don't see any
add-ins or .dots as was described in a posted response (I visited the
recommended site of http://word.mvps.org/).

Any further help you can provide would be greatly appreciated and I would
love to know what the other icon (not the Word one) is for.

Some add-ins clear the Clipboard when starting Word. One of the most common
is the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word; if you got Word as part of
Works Suite and haven't uninstalled the add-in, you may want to do so (for
that and numerous other reasons).

Thanks for the icon help. Can anyone provide help as to why items are
disappearing from the clipboard?

Thanks for the response, but if you read my original message, I have looked
for add-ins and I couldn't find any. Office was loaded straight from disk,
so Works shouldn't be the issue. Your (Suzanne S. Barnhill's) recommended
site (as is stated in my original message) is where I went to look for
add-ins. I referenced the posted thread "Word empties my clipboard when
opening" which was posted on 6/17/2004 by spdragon and reponded to by you.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
