cannot clear clipboard when clipboard appears empty

Shani · Nov 3, 2004

Hi - I am continually having a problem where, when copy/pasting I receive an
error message saying clipboard full, but the clipboard on the toolbar is
greyed out and empty and when you try to 'empty clipboard' it just errors
'cannot clear clipboard'. Any ideas please?

This has xl97 in the subject, but maybe it applies:
