unwanted clipboard pasting

In XP, Office 2003, anything on the clipboard will automatically paste itself every 30 seconds or so, even (and especially!) when I don't want it to.
Any suggestions?

.... you're not doing anything at all? Perhaps you've set a key combination which is doing the pasting. Can you pin it down to anything in particular, or is it doing it when you do nothing at all?

There is also an option to turn on use of the INSERT key to do pasting for you. Are you insert mode or overtype mode?

Also check your auto-save options to make sure it's not saving ever 30 seconds.

It seems to be totally random.
The Insert key IS right above the Backspace key, so perhaps with my clumsy typing, I am accidentally hitting Insert. I would hope that I would notice that, though.
I am in the insert mode.
I have not set up any shortcut keys.
Thanks for the ideas.
