Copy and Paste issue

[Guest]

I use Outlook Express to receive e-mails and use the Copy and Paste function
to copy them to Publisher 2000 text boxes. What started happening is I can
copy the first message fine, but when I copy any messages after that, and I
click paste, the first item I copied is what comes up. If I restart my
computer, I can copy and paste something different, but it starts again. Any
ideas? TIA.

While elementary, I'll assume a select all precedes the
copy step?

Thanks but yes I realize something has to be highlighted to be copied, but
the issue seems to be that either what I'm copying isn't overwriting what's
already in the clipboard, or if the clipboard had multiple pages, it isn't
pasting the current page, just the first one all the time. Or I might be way
out to lunch, and it's something completely different.

Hi,

How are you invoking the copy command? Do you use the right click on the
highlighted text, click on a header menu item, or use your Ctrl = C keys?

Do all three of these methods result in the same behavior.

An Office NG would have the answer, I suspect.. I believe it's related
to Office clipboard settings.

I think Joe's right. If it *is* the Office Clipboard, try pasting with
Ctrl-V -- that should always paste the last item you copied.
