I cant copy then paste into an application unless it's already op.

If i try to copy text or anything in an office application,then open another
app to paste it, all i get is a little picture that looks like a mini mobile
phone. Have tried this on other versions of office and it works fine. Any
suggestions

Sounds like you have a Bluetooth device installed. The Bluetooth add-in
clears the Windows clipboard when an Office application is started.

I have the exact same problem, and have a bluetooth device, but if I open
add-ins under office it shows no add-ins at all. Any idea on how to resolve
this issue?

If I'm not mistaken it's a COM Add-in and it's one that is specific to the
machine instead of the user. Only those that are user-specific will display
in the COM Add-ins dialog box. That being the it can be difficult to find.
The following may help pinpoint it:

Download the Process Explorer from:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

- Start Word
- Run the Process Explorer utility
- In the upper pane select Winword.exe
- Locate the "View DLLs" command in the Toolbar (if you see View Handles
then View DLLs is already in use)
- In the lower pane see if you can locate DLLs for your device (such as
Belkin - there may be more than one so hopefully the Description will help
you out.)
- Locate the path for the DLL in a column on the right
- Once found exit Word and rename the DLL to prevent it from loading.

Note it is best to rename the file extension rather than the file name.

Hi Beth,

The Sysinternals website has been migrated to MS Technet since the MS acquisition. The process explorer is available from
http://microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx

The basic http://sysinternals.com will redirect to
http://microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/
but it doesn't appear that the individual former product pages do so.
