Default Clear Office Clipboard from VBA?

As I tried to explain in one of my posts, I wouldn't expect it to make any
difference.


I didn't really expect it to make a difference either, but I wanted to try
all the suggestions that were offered by the various posters here.


If I step through my code, it always works perfectly. So debugging is
next
to impossible.


In this case it is probably a timing (or perhaps a locking) problem. It is
worth trying to put one or more DoEvents statements in the code to allow the
system to catch up with itself. Precise logic behind this is often
impossible to explain but trial and error can sometimes lead to a
resolution.


I've tried that before, but with a relatively short loop. I'll try it again
with a longer loop and see if it helps.

You said originally that the problem was with images yet you are copying a
paragraph range - does it contain images? And, if so, are they linked?


Yes, the images are inserted inline with the text, so when I copy the
paragraph, I'm really just copying the image. (It's the only item in the
paragraph.)

No, the images aren't linked.
