Not that I am aware of: I didn't even know there was a limit (other than the
12 entries) as I don't really use the Clipboard tool. I usually avoid
copy/paste because of the problems bringing in rogue styles or corruptions
from other documents. If I do, I use Paste Special and use the unformatted
text option: then I apply the document styles. If I need a substantial part
of a document, I would insert a Section Break, Next Page and then use
Insert, File to bring in the whole document and then delete what isn't
needed. However, that brings in those rogue styles with it.
