Copy & Paste

[Stan]

Windows XP Home & Word 2003. Until recently I could Copy an item and then
Open a Word document and Paste but now I must open Word first or I cannot
Copy to the clipboard. I had this same problem a long time ago and solved it
but don't remember how. I've tried reinstalling but that didn't help. Very
annoying!

Some Word add-ins clear the Clipboard when they are loaded. The only way to
figure out which one is doing it is to move each one in turn out of Word's
Startup folder till you find the culprit.

Sounds good but how do I get to Word's Startup folder? I am not that
knowledgeable so please explain in detail. Thanks. Stan
