Using Office Clipboard

One of the drawbacks of Windows Clipboard is its inability to retain several items. It can only retain the last saved one. Microsoft Office, however, has a feature that can save multiple items from any Microsoft application. This feature is called an Office Clipboard and can hold a maximum of 24 items. If you copy more than 24 items, the clipboard deletes the first one copied.

• Open any Microsoft Office application (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and select Edit > Office Clipboard from Word menu or press Ctrl+C twice to display the Clipboard window.
  

• To copy, simply highlight the text required and press Ctrl+C or Edit > Copy from the menu. The copied text appears on the Clipboard window.
• Highlight and copy a different text. Note that the copied text is displayed just above the previous copied content. The icons denote that the Office application from which the item has been copied over.
• To paste the copied content, simply click the item to paste.
• The items are retained in the clipboard as long as any Microsoft Office application remains open or until they have been cleared from the clipboard (Clear All).
