Copy acting like Alt-PrintScreen!

When I copy in my word document and then paste, it pastes
the whole window image as if I had done a Alt-PrintScreen.
I recently switched to XP and Word 2002 so wondering if
this is a horrible new feature. :)

Does anyone know why this is happening and how do I make
it stop doing this?

It sounds like you have some incompatible clip board utility installed?

Thanks Terry.
It's my work laptop so I guess I have to call the helpless
desk to see if they installed something weird. It's so
strange. Still wondering if it's a horrible new feature.
Something with this paste menu crap. I found I can paste
from the clipboard taskbar. When I copy something I see
the window image and the copied text as separate items in
the taskbar. If I paste from anywhere but the taskbar I
get the window image and not the text. This works but
really slows me down and I hate it!
Thanks.
 
You might want to turn off the Office Clipboard, as that's what seems to be
messing you up.
