Siestse, There are no controls in your first option and the second option doesn't work either.
This is Word 2003. By some accounts Micro$oft took out the support for your second option in the release of 2003.

Word is probably similar. otoh you could try disabling the multiple clipboard in Word and then use _cliptext in fox to manipulate the normal clipboard.
