Question about 'Turn off the Clipboard Toolbar in Office 2000 and Office XP'

I have a question about Turn
off the Clipboard Toolbar in Office 2000 and Office XP:
Does anybody know whether there is a similar function in Office 97? I am looking
into an issue with Word causing a batch process to hang overnight. Basically, Word
is being invoked in the background by an app written in VB to perform mail merge
functions from a SQL Server 2K DB. Unfortunately, the batch process hangs every two
or threee minutes or so, seemingly with Word looking for some sort of user intervention.
Of course, with Word being run 'silently' there's no way for me to access it and
see what is causing the problem, but I expect it is something like a multiple clipboard
looking for user input.
Does anybody know if Office 97 has such a function? This problem has been driving
us insane for months now - anybody who could help out will take satisfaction from
the fact that me and my colleagues might be able to get some sleep once it is solved!
Cheers

I'm not sure about Office 97 but here's some free tools that will help pin it down...

Use the tools below, they will help..
Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open?
Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles
and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.

Thanks. We've run RegMon and FileMon on the server whilst the batch is processing,
but it just generates so much data that the server crashes about 5 minutes in each
time - and thats with filters running!
Every time we've tried to pin it down it just keeps coming back - I'll give ProcMon
a go and see if that helps.
Cheers
