I am getting frustrated because every time I start Word or Excel, anything I have copied into the clipboard (text or image) is lost.

Often I will select and copy some text to paste into Word or Excel. Often I don't have Word or Excel already open, and when I open it I lose what ever I had in my clipboard!

Although this is usually a minor inconvenience, it gets annoying since this has been going on for months.

I suspect there is a setting turned on somewhere to "Clear clipboard on startup" or something, but I can't find it.

I am using Office Professional Plus 2010 (14.0.6112.5 32-bit).

Thanks for any help!
