The Office Clipboard can collect and paste more than a dozen items. For example, you can copy text in a Word document, switch to Excel and copy a drawing object, switch to PowerPoint and copy a bulleted list, switch to Access and copy a datasheet, then switch back to Word and paste the collection of copied items.
To use the Clipboard in Word 2003, select View then Task Pane in the menu. Click the down arrow at the top of the task pane, and select Clipboard. In Word 2007/2010, click the small Clipboard button in the Clipboard group on the Home tab . When the Clipboard is open, anything that you cut or copy will appear in it. You can then choose to Paste All or select the item(s) you want to paste. The items stay in the Clipboard until you remove them.
