MS Office and Copy/Paste Buffer

The trusty PC has just developed an annoying habit when copying-and-pasting.

I'm very much in the habit of saying "Ah, need a copy of that...", then going to Word etc...

It used to be that I could pick something in Firefox or wherever, click "copy", then open Word or Excel or Publisher or whatever, and paste it into that.

No longer. Unless I open Word etc BEFORE I copy, the item is gone from the buffer.

The buffer is empty even if I then go to use a different bit of software (eg Paint Shop Pro).

Anyone know what might have changed, and if can change it back?

Google has remained silent on the issue, with all the permutations of words I can think of.
