Thanks I will wait for the next version. It actually happens in all programs, not just MS Office programs. I found the IRC group and one of the Ops had me update my guest additions, which I had not. Now I am finding that I can use the guest to host copy/paste function, but not the bidirectional function. That one fails every time. How soon with the new version come out??

It is often triggered when the Microsoft Office clipboard manager (in the guest OS) interferes with ours, which can be worked around if necessary by temporarily disabling the Office clipboard. If you can wait for the few days though, you are probably better just upgrading to 1.5.2. Regards, Michael Susan Stein wrote: > I am using VB 1.5.0 with Vista as the host and XP as the guest.
