Default "paste" function failure in MS Word

I am running Windows XP and Office 2003 Pro. I have run
for several months with no similar problem.

I am unable to get the "paste" function to work after
copying something from any document outside MS Word
itself. The function worked flawlessly until about a week
ago, when the completion of the "paste" function began to
be agonizingly slow. Yesterday, the "paste" function
failed to complete the "paste" at all.

"Copy" and "paste" work ouside MS Word, or within MS Word,
but not from outside to a MS Word document.

The copied text shows on the clipboard, but when
the "paste" icon, or from any other "paste" function key,
is selected, the hourglass appears, MS Word freezes, and I
have to shut down MS Word to regain control of MS Word.

Re-starts, unplugging from all power sources, disk clean-
ups, none of these correct the problem. Help is needed.
Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have the exact same
problem now.
