The same message box pops up every time I attempt to move the contents of a
cell by hiliting the cell; grabbing an edge; and moving it to a new location.
It's extremely time consuming and frustrating to encounter and dismiss this
message and "Clearing the clipboard" (the solution recommended by Microsoft)
does not relieve the problem.

When trying to copy a section on an excel spreadsheet that I use all the time
I get an Error Message: Cannot Empty the Clipboard. I went to the Clipboard
under the edit Tool and Cleared All. Nothing has changed. It even comes up
when I go to save the file and then eventually after a few attempts can save
it. This is Excel 2003
