I have word 2000. Yes it is old, but it has always worked fine for me, and I write a lot.
All the sudden a problem developed.
When I copy to clipboard, in whatever manner (clicking copy or just trying to drag highlighted text to new location), the whole program just shuts down.

I have tried to search on this issue, but the 'paste special' solution made no difference. I can not think of anything recently installed that would cause this, but I have installed many games, programs and updates. But I always have. This pc is a gaming rig and a book writing beast. I can usually figure this stuff out....
This must have happened to someone else.
Can anyone direct me to the thread?
Thanks in advance
