Hello,

I recently switched to Office 2003 and I am constantly
frustrated with this new feature(?). If Word is running
and I copy-paste data from another application (IE,
Excel, Notepad) then everything works fine. However if
Word is not running and I first copy the data, then start
word, and then paste, instead of the data I get a tiny
embeded object/icon!!! What is this? It seems as if Word
cannot paste things that were in the clipboard before it
(Word) was ran. Is there a way I can get the good'ol
fashioned copy-paste?

many thanks
christos
