Office Clipboard

 

The Microsoft Office Clipboard allows you to copy up to 24 multiple text and graphical items from Office documents or other programs and paste them into another Office document. Whether you need to copy text from a website, e-mail message or a graphic, office Clipboard can help you arranged the copied items the way that you want in the document.

If you open the Clipboard task pane in one Office program, the Clipboard task pane does not automatically appear when you switch to another Office program.
