copy and paste problems in XP

[Ken Vickery]

I'm having a problem with copying and pasting. When I
try to paste something from a CAD program into MS Word,
for example, the "paste function" is grayed on the menu,
not black as it should be.

Often when you copy and then open Word, the Office clipboard will knock
the copied data out of the Windows clipboard.

Instead, open Word first. Then do the copy/paste operation.
