Hello Adam,
I think firstly we need to find the difference between working machine and the erroneous machine. Please check IIS setting,
IIS servcie setting in control panel... to make sure that all are the same.
Kevin is right here that using clipboard is not so convenient. If you just want to get some text and don't want its format, you
could store the data into disk files, filemap, or even socket.
Thanks.

!well not quite the worst. I'm sure if we put our heads together we could
!produce something more convoluted and fragile
However the code (that did
!work on another machine) uses the clipboard to get some text from an
!automated word application (I know this is not recommended and no, I will
!never let it happen again). The text is grabbed via the clipboard to get
!the HTML fragment which contains more useful information than the Text
!property of the selection. This is for an existing product not a new build.
!
!I think I have decided it will be quicker to try another solution that I'm
!making up in my head now.
