SUMMARY
When copying a large selection from Microsoft Word to the clipboard and attempting to paste it into Excel, either garbled information or a blank clipboard may result.

This problem indicates that Word does not have sufficient memory to successfully convert the clipboard when switching out. To increase the amount of memory available to Word under MultiFinder, increase Word's Application Memory Size in the Get Info dialog box.
