Because it works properly when you start Word in Safe Mode, it is indicating
that there is some external influence at work: these are usually add-in
placed in the Start-up folder, custom macros or COM add-ins that are badly
written. Word Safe Mode forces Word to start in its default install mode
by-passing all add-ins and customisations including the normal.dot. Suzanne
asked about Works, because the Works Suite Add-in is notorious for causing
this (and other) problems. You need to check your system to see what has
been installed that is affecting the Office Clipboard.
The following FAQ should start you off on your investigation...
