I haven't used XP, and I no longer use Word97, so take these remarks 
accordingly.
But I don't see why using the Windows 2000 approach of setting up a file 
(rather than the clipboard) and letting Papyrus cite to it wouldn't work.
So, in the preferences, OS2/NT Clipboard, tell Papyrus to use a file rather 
than the clipboard.  (I'd use something which the operating system is 
unlikely to use - e.g., cited.txt).  Then any citation would paste the 
material into that file.  Since there is no need to ever have that file 
open (as opposed to pasting from it into your word document) updating 
should work smoothly.  I don't even think you'd need a macro - just paste 
from that file.
Hope this works.
