Copy & Paste Problem

[Stan]

Using Word 2003 and until recently I could Copy anything, open Word, and
Paste successfully.

Suddenly when I try to do this the clipboard is empty but if I open Word
first and then do my Copy & Paste it works.

I had this same problem a long time ago and solved it but don’t remember
how. Have no idea why this is now acting up. Sure can use some help. Thanks.

You have installed something that is interfering with the Office Clipboard.

Is there any way to find out what exactly is the culprit since it was some
time ago?

Disable the add-ins and add them back one at a time to see which is the
cause.

See how to find add-ins

Thanks for the links. They look a little intimidating to me because of my
questionable knowledge and experience but I will take a shot at it. BTW I
sent you a Thank You but I don't see it being posted so I am writing again.
Want you to know I appreciate your help.
