Hi Jim,
I know zip about Mozilla FireFox.
Did your Word 97 come with Works Suite?
If yes, Word will have the copy and paste problem below, but maybe, just a
guess here, maybe it causes other problems.
If no, look at the article anyway for add-ins that may be causing problems.
BTW, my Word 2002 came as part of Works Suite and I removed the Works Suite
add-in.
If Word came installed as part of Works Suite then the Microsoft Works
Suite Add-in for Word (COM Add-in) is known to clear the contents of the
Windows Clipboard when Word starts.
Start Word first, then copy and paste.
Or follow the procedures here to remove the Works Suite add-in

This applies to Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003.
