Hi,
Troubleshoot collecting and pasting
1. I can't turn off the Office Clipboard.
The Office Clipboard is always displayed when you press CTRL+C twice in an
Office program. To turn off the Office Clipboard, do the following:
On the Clipboard task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application
that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you
to use these commands while still working on your files.), click Options.
Clear the Show Office Clipboard Automatically check box.
Clear the Show Office Clipboard When Ctrl+C Pressed Twice check box.
2. I can't add additional items to the Microsoft Office Clipboard.
There are already 24 items on the Microsoft Office Clipboard If you copy
more than 24 items, the Office Clipboard will delete the first item copied
and then collect the 25th item. Collected items remain on the Office
Clipboard until you close all Office programs running on your computer. To
begin copying items again, delete some items or click Clear All on the
Office Clipboard.
There are large items on the Office Clipboard The Office Clipboard may stop
adding items— even if there are fewer than 24— if you copy large items to it.
The Office Clipboard can contain up to 4 megabytes (MB) of data if system RAM
is less than 64 MB, or 8 MB if system RAM is 64 MB or greater. To begin
copying items again, delete some items or click Clear All on the Office
Clipboard. If a single item is larger than 4 MB or 8 MB, you cannot copy the
item to the Office Clipboard.
You are attempting to copy an item with an unsupported format There are some
items that cannot be copied to the Office Clipboard because the format is not
supported.
3. The Office Clipboard is not available.
The Microsoft Office Clipboard is not available anywhere that you cannot use
the Copy, Cut, and Paste commands or in the Visual Basic Editor (Visual Basic
Editor: An environment in which you write new and edit existing Visual Basic
for Applications code and procedures. The Visual Basic Editor contains a
complete debugging toolset for finding syntax, run-time, and logic problems
in your code.).
However, if the Office Clipboard is displayed in any Office program, any
items you cut or copy in any program are collected automatically.
The Office Clipboard is not automatically displayed when I copy multiple
items.
If the Clipboard task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application
that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you
to use these commands while still working on your files.) is not displayed,
click Office Clipboard on the Edit menu.
On the Clipboard task pane, click Options.
Make sure Show Office Clipboard Automatically is checked.
4. I can't automatically copy items to the Office Clipboard when an Office
program is opened.
If the Clipboard task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application
that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you
to use these commands while still working on your files.) is not displayed,
click Office Clipboard on the Edit menu.
On the Clipboard task pane, click Options.
Make sure Collect Without Showing Office Clipboard is checked.
5. The Office Clipboard icon is not displayed.
Check one or more of the following:
The option for displaying the Office Clipboard icon is turned off
On the Clipboard task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application
that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you
to use these commands while still working on your files.), click Options.
Make sure Show Office Clipboard Icon on Taskbar is checked.
The option for displaying a status message when collecting is turned off
On the Clipboard task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application
that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you
to use these commands while still working on your files.), click Options.
Make sure Show Status Near Taskbar When Copying is checked.
6. I don't see a status message when I copy items.
On the Clipboard task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application
that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you
to use these commands while still working on your files.), click Options.
Make sure Show Status Near Taskbar When Copying is checked.
My copied item looks different in the Office Clipboard gallery.
In some cases, such as Unicode (Unicode: A character encoding standard
developed by the Unicode Consortium. By using more than one byte to represent
each character, Unicode enables almost all of the written languages in the
world to be represented by using a single character set.) text, the image
displayed in the gallery will look slightly altered. This is because text is
always displayed in the gallery using the Tahoma font. The correct formatting
and font information is restored when the item is pasted from the gallery.
The Paste All button is not available on the Office Clipboard.
Paste All and the collected items on the Microsoft Office Clipboard are not
available anywhere you cannot use the Copy, Cut, and Paste commands or in the
Visual Basic Editor (Visual Basic Editor: An environment in which you write
new and edit existing Visual Basic for Applications code and procedures. The
Visual Basic Editor contains a complete debugging toolset for finding syntax,
run-time, and logic problems in your code.).
