clipboard not clearing

[St Denys]

Using the clipboard to repeatedly copy and paste text I am finding that
although the clipboard is showing empty, the previous text to the currently
selected is still coming up when I paste. Does anyone have a solution to
this problem please?

Do you have the Office Clipboard open from the Edit menu? Can you clear it when
it is open?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do and no I can't.

Can you open the Clipboard from the System32 folder and delete the contents?
(C:\WINDOWS\system32) It is named clipbrd.exe.)
Maybe a repair?
