For the past week I have a permanent resident on my office clipboard in the form of a small PDA (graphic). I can clear it but the next time I open a new document there it is again. This is what I have done to no avail.
a. uninstalled Word and reinstalled
b. cleared all "cookies"
c. reviewed every *.bmp on my computer
d. currently up-to-date with anti-virus

If I paste it by using "paste special" - the dialogue box states the source is unknown and tells me it can be posted either as a "Bmp" or a "device independent bitmap"

In researching for an article on PDAs, I did visit a lot of sites and did copy and paste.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to eliminate this?
Thanks

Have you tried deleting your normal.dot and letting word create a new one??

I deleted normal.dot and it is still there. Thanks - any other suggestions? I am willing to try anything.

Look in your add/remove programs to see if you have something installed, like a "clipboard helper" or something that doesn't ring a bell that you may have gotten from an Active X plug in from the web when you were researching.

Do you already have a PDA. Was there a software update you did when you were researching??

if you rename the file extrenally out of the clip board then try and copy it and it will error
