Hi guys
First I wonder if you are, like me, using a copy of Word that came with
Works Suite, or if Works Suite is also installed? If so, what can cause
this problem is the Works Suite Add-in for Word.
If you delete this, it means that you no longer see Word "tasks" and
projects in the Works Launcher; so if you like to use Word this way, you
might want to keep it, and live with the Clipboard problem. Personally I
always use Word as a stand-alone app, so I deleted the Add-in (Control
Panel > Add/Remove Programs).
Hope this helps.
