I there a way that you can reproduce this problem every single time? If yes, can you post the instructions in the forums so that someone can have a look at it (including the image in attachement).

Like most IRRITATING problems, it does not replicate itself every time. It seems to happen when I or White Angel do a lot of cutting and pasting. My guess would be the clip board is not emptying. If someone could tell me how to view what is on the clip board, I could do so and manually empty it, but I cannot find that info.

So if you know how to view the clipboard within Corel Draw and empty it, I think this would solve my problem.
