Copy/Paste Problem??????

D

Dave

This is very strange...

I am attempting to copy some text from notepad in to Word. A reasonably
simply operation you would have thought.

If I first copy the text - then open Word - and then paste in the text what
appears instead is a strange little icon. If I do a paste special then the
options it gives are for a bitmap image not text. Somehow Word must think
the contents of the clipboard is an image.

If I open word first and then copy the text and paste in it works fine?

I am running Windows XP Pro and Office 2000. I have already tried
uninstalling/reinstalling office - no joy there.


Any ideas?

Hi Dave,

More than likely this is due to a Bluetooth add-in. When Word (and
other Office apps) start the add-in copies a bitmap to use as an icon
on a toolbar or menu item. Those who have encountered this issue in
the past found CSH.DLL to be the culprit.

You can rename the DLL to prevent it from loading when the Office apps
start however if you are using it then you need to make sure the
application you want to use is started before you copy.
