Microsoft Office Publisher >> the clipboard printing over document

by Margaret » Sat, 20 Sep 2003 03:36:10 GMT

I have Publisher 2002. From the beginning - at times when
I print a document, the clipart on the side will print on
top of my document. This happens on several of our
computers. What causes it and HOW DO I STOP IT?

Microsoft Office Publisher >> the clipboard printing over document

by Ed Bennett » Sat, 20 Sep 2003 04:27:56 GMT


After managing to set up OE-QuoteFix on his new PC, Ed reads a message
from Margaret < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >...

This is not the ClipBoard, this is the scratch area.
It is a known bug, and can be avoided by putting the pictures in the scratch
area below the document.

1. Copying from Excel - pasting in Publisher: Clipboard messed up 

Hoping someone can help me.

I have a series of spreadsheets in excel that I use for calculations. Once I 
impute my data and have the formulae calculate my data, I copy these 
spreadsheets into MS Publisher, format them and make my reports. This has 
never caused me a problem until now. 

Today I was working along as usual but when I pasted one of my spreadsheets 
into Publisher, one particular cell (appearing about 30 times in one 
spreadsheet) had changed sizes. I checked the size of the cells (column) and 
verified that nothing had changed, I checked all the formatting and all was 
good, I checked my settings in Publisher and nothing out of the ordinary.

Then I tried to paste more sections of the same spreadsheet (Actually 1 
spreadsheet with different calculation tables down through the worksheet). 
And some of the pastes pasted fine while others within the same sheet didn't 
(larger sized cell). I pasted to the same Publisher file as I always have and 
some sections of the worksheet pasted like always while others had the larger 
cells (on the same Publisher file).

I tend to think that it is a problem with the clipboard. Has anyone else 
ever run into this, and can anyone advise.

Thank you very much in advance,

3. "The clipboard is busy" 

When trying to copy and paste an image from the Internet 
to Publisher, I get the following error:

"Cannot complete the operation. The clipboard is busy. 
Publisher cannot currently cut, copy or paste your data 
because another program is using the clipboard. Wait a 
moment and try again, or close other programs and try 
again"

There is nothing in the clipboard at the time. Once you've 
cleared the clipboard, you can copy and paste.

Why would the error come up initially, when there is 
nothing in the clipboard.

Cheers
