It appears that Adobe Contribute (part of the CS4 suite) copies some icons to the clipboard when it initializes as an Outlook add-in. This has the effect of clobbering the clipboard contents.

I've finally figured out one of the combinations that reproduces it for me. -WinXP + all SP's/fixes -Office 2K7 + all SP's/fixes 1) Compose document in Word. Type some junk and CTRL+C to clipboard. 2) Test by pasting a few times in to same document. Data remains on clipboard for multiple pastes. 3) Switch to Outlook. Reply to a message[1] and type a few things in the message body (you don't have to actually send). 4) Switch back to Word and paste. Nothing. Nada. Zip. This is annoying and breaks long-standing proper clipboard behavior IMO. I'll attempt on a couple of other machines/platforms as well. -sc [1]- For some reason composing a new email doesn't trigger it, where a Reply does. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
