I can hit esc to clear the clipboard from any sheet--and in any workbook.
I'm surprised that it didn't work for you.

My mistake again. I was pressing Esc while the right-click row menu
was open. Of course, the merely closes the menu. When I press Esc
when no menu is open, that does indeed clear the clipboard, even in
another worksheet.

Thanks again.
