What's up with my Mouse or maybe...

[Stuffy]

I have a problem that props up almost daily with my computer. I do a ton of copying and pasting as part of my work. I usually do this by right clicking the mouse. After some indeterminent (lets say a hundred) mumber of times pasting, it stops working. I can still copy, but then have to CTRL-V to paste. If I reboot the problem is solved until I hit the magic number again. I have a feeling that this isn’t a mouse problem but some kind of memory or software problem, but what the hell do I know.

Anybody have any ideal what’s going on?

The newer versions of Office products no longer have a single “slot” for copying and pasting, but rather store all the things you have copied. Go under Edit - Office Clipboard. It is possible that it has a limit.

My guess would seem to be appropriate considering your need to use Ctrl-V and something I found int he help file"

The Office Clipboard is related to the system Clipboard in the following ways:

When you copy multiple items to the Office Clipboard, the last item you copy is always copied to the system Clipboard.
When you clear the Office Clipboard, the system Clipboard is also cleared.
When you use the Paste command, the Paste button, or the shortcut keys (CTRL+V), you paste the contents of the system Clipboard, not the Office Clipboard.

Thanks flight. I went to “edit” and “clear all” and the paste function works again.
