Clipboard is erased on startup
I have Word 2002 and Works 7.0 on my new Dell. Whenever I copy somethng onto the clipboard and then start Word - it is erased and I need to recopy the material. I'm told this is due to the Works Add-In for Word which erases the clipboard before Word is started.
How do I remove or turn off that feature? Microsoft won't help as this is an OEM product.
Thanks!

Also, If you are not experiencing any other problems with the Word in Works Suite Add-In feature, why uninstall it? Consider yourself lucky. An uninstall of this feature will results in the loss of certain options. However, I will acknowledge this Add-In has caused many problems in all versions of the Works Suite application since its inception. And it appears Mr. Gate$ continues to either ignore the problems, or doesn't have a clue how to resolve them, as he has with the default Word template file, normal.dot.
In any event, should you choose to uninstall the Add-In, double-click Add/Remove Programs in Start/Settings/Control Panel. It will be defined as Word in Works Suite Add-in in the list of programs. During the uninstall it may ask you to insert the appropriate CD disk.

Thanks Eleanor,
I did find the uninstall in the Add/Remove and it did uninstall it. It wasn't a big deal - just a annoyance I can do without. It works fine now - thanks for the help!
