You may want to post a more specific question about the paste/paste special when
OnTime is on. Is it that the clipboard seems to be emptied?

If yes, then lots of macros will kill the clipboard. I don't know away around
it.

And second: if you're going to hang around any of the MS newsgroups, you may
want to dump the web interface and connect directly to the newsgroups (using
Outlook Express???).

Saved from a previous post:

If you have Outlook Express installed, try clicking on these links (or copy and
paste into MSIE).
