Thanks for the feedback, Linda. I use Outlook 2003 just like you. And up until a little over a week ago, everything worked for me just as it worked for you yesterday. I am beginning to think that I have to reinstall Office. I forgot to mention in my post that a corrupt document in Word forced me to do a repair on office. Although this happened well after my copy-paste problems began, the need to do the repair perhaps indicates that the installation has started "crumbling". If no one else on the list has had any trouble copying and pasting attachments from Outlook into Windows Explorer, I think the problem is more likely to lie with the condition of the software on my computer.
