Have you tried OpenOffice? It has quirks if its own, but probably handles cut and paste in a more standard way than Word (which always tries to include all kinds of weird tags in copy-paste operations).

Oh no! Hopefully you won't have to have anything extra done to your wrist now to deal with that.

I always carry granola bars and keep a jar of peanut butter and some crackers in my desk for just this kind of reason. I'd offer to try to email you some, but by now I imagine you're at home or have found something to eat, anyway.

Start writing a novel? Develop a computer game (or learn to program, if you don't know how already?) Enroll in an online class?
I came to the conclusion years ago that if my employer can't keep me busy, my responsibility to remedy that in my employer's favor only goes so far. You've tried to help with the backlog. You've offered to go out into the field and help with work orders. You aren't being permitted to do that, and there isn't enough work in your official job description to keep you busy. I get the sense your workplace won't really reward innovation, e.g. developing a new system to track work orders or something else related to your workplace. So you might as well find some other productive thing to do with your time.
When I was a computer operator on the graveyard shift, I used to do all my programming homework during my shift, between mounting tapes and loading paper into the printers. I got a lot done that way, and as long as I got my other work done, there was no cause for complaint. And being productive helped me to be less cranky.
