My laptop has developed a habit of failing to copy and paste.
No error, no beep, just nothing happens when I paste.
Happens across all apps, even notepad.
Windows XP SP2. Office 2002.
Happens once a day. Reboot fixes.

Any ideas appreciated.

If this happens only in Office 2002, try an Office NG.

Copy/Paste Problems? Click Start, Run, and enter these lines:

regsvr32 ole32.dll (Press Enter key)
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll (Press Enter key)

Also try Kelly's tweak (you'll find instructions at the top of the page).

Line 233 - Enable Drag and Drop
