Strange problem with MS Office 2003

Hey all,

When I open MS Word or Outlook 2003, the items I've copied (like text or files) just disappear from the clipboard.
Any ideas why?
I'm running Win XP Pro SP2 with MS Office 2003 Pro SP1.

Thanks in advance.

Did you press the ESC key, sometimes that dumps something you've copied to the clipboard.

Office 2003 is a little different than the old office in that it saves multiple items you've copied, so if it's dumping that entire queue of things as opposed to just the last thing you have copied then I'm a little perplexed as well.

Check Tools -> Options thoroughly to see if there are some settings in there for how the clipboard works.
