"copying" in any office prog, it inserts "screenshots" not text

That sounds almost like an add-in or screen grab utility causing problems.

Do you have this problem with USB keyboards/mice, too, as the other posters
described? If you disable that and use the laptop keyboard and mouse, does
the problem go away?

it I have been having this problem, more specifically, if I copy some text
from ANY source and then immediately paste it into an office program it
works
fine. However, if I copy and then go to Word and scroll down a page or go
back up into the middle of the document and hit Ctrl V or the paste button
I
get a screenshot.

I suspect you may get better information if you post your question to a
tablet group.

My problem is exactly the same as this below. Surely, MS has a
solution.
I'm using a wireless K/B and Mouse whose receiver is connected by USB
2.0.
If I disconnect these components and use strictly what came with the
notebook
(Compaq 2000 series), the keyboard functions all work fine.

Any Hotfixes known? Any help you folks can give me would help a bunch.

If I use an external keyboard plugged to the USB port of my laptop
(running windows xp tablet) then the copy and paste are screwed up.
Having the num-lock key down causes any arrow key to work as "print
screen" key.

Try this:
Run C:\Windows\System32\Clipbrd
you'll see realtime what is on your clipboard.

do a simple ctrl-c on text
it will copy correctly on clipboard

press any arrow or page-up/down key
it will copy a screenshot.

I have got no solution to this problem!

I do have the same problem. My keyboard and mouse are connected via a USB hub
to my Gateway laptop. It doesn't happen if I use the laptop keyboard and
pointer.

However, this just started happening in the last 30-60 days so there must
have been some MS update that is causing the conflict.

You might try updating the drivers for the mouse and keyboard in question.

I am also having this problem, using a desktop computer, Windows XP, and Word
2003, which is part of MS Office Pro 2003.

Only difference for me is that my clipboard will fill and refill repeatedly
with a screen shot of the page where I try to copy text.

I have tried uninstalling Office and reinstalling. I have also tried doing
Start|Run, typing in msconfig, and turning off the programs that load at
startup. in addition, I have tried doing Detect and Repair in Word. I have
also scanned for malware (Malwarebytes) and for visuses (TM Internet
Security)-- niether found problems.

The problem recurs.

I also was using a wireless keyboard and mouse. When I switched them out to
a USB wired keyboard and mouse, the problem so far has recurred once, but I
was able to clear the Clipboard and it did not refill. This is a change from
what happened when using the wireless board & mouse.

I would appreciate any other suggestions.
