The thread is the first in the list if you search on "paste" (without the
quotes) in microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage at Goggle Groups.

> I would uninstall and reinstall...

I had this problem in Entourage X (the quote is from a two-year old thread).
I just (a little over three weeks ago) uninstalled Entourage X and installed
Entourage 2004, and I still have the problem, (first occurrence a couple of
days ago). I'm declining your invitation to uninstall and reinstall
Entourage 2004.

Thanks for the reply,
