To display the Office
Clipboard's task pane, click
the dialog box launcher in the
Clipboard group on the Home
tab. Each time you cut or copy
something to the Clipboard
from an Office application,
it is placed on the list in the
task pane. If you want to
paste the most recently cut or
copied item, you can use the
standard methods of pasting
from Table 7.1. However,
if you want to paste one of
the earlier items, display the
Clipboard task pane and then
click the item you want to
paste. Figure 7.11 shows the
Clipboard task pane with
several items on it. The Office
Clipboard is shared among
all Office applications, so you
can, for example, copy several
cell ranges or charts from
Excel and have access to them
in PowerPoint or Word on the
Office Clipboard.
Figure.7 11
The Office Clipboard task pane
enables you to store up to 24 items to be pasted.
Clearing the Office Clipboard
If you don't exit from all Office applications before stepping away from your computer, anyone who sits down
at your computer can see the items on the Office Clipboard. If you have any concerns about privacy, click the
Clear All button at the top of the Clipboard task pane to remove all items from it after you are finished using the
Clipboard.
