W7 cut and paste fails if destination document opened first

[Fixed] W7 cut and paste fails if destination document opened first

Windows 7 with Office 2010
Plenty of similar cases found, but no solution.
Hopefully a fellow PPRuNer has better eyes than me and can point to one.

Fails

1. Open source document
2. Invoke "copy" or "cut" via toolbar or keyboard shortcut
3. Create a new Office 2010 target document (specifically) such as an Outlook e-mail or Word document
4. Observe that there is nothing to paste until "copy" or "cut" is repeated

Works

1. Create a new target document such as an Outlook e-mail or Word document
2. Open source document
3. Invoke "copy" or "cut" via toolbar or keyboard shortcut
4. Observe paste success

Steps 1 and 2 are interchangeable, with success. The key thing is that for Office 2010 applications the target document exists before "copy" or "cut" is invoked.

Not life threatening, but annoying none the less and takes some of the gloss of the nice things with W7 and Office 2010.

Available fix?
