Default No indication that copied chart is on the clipboard

Hello,

When you press Ctrl+C to copy the chart, look at the Home tab on the upper
left side of the ribbon. At the bottom of the Home tab you'll see the word
"Clipboard". On the right side of "Clipboard", you should see a tiny box
with an arrow pointing down at the 4 o'clock position. If you click on this
box with your mouse, the Office Clipboard will appear on the left side of the
screen. An image of your chart should appear which indicates that the chart
is being stored. The "Options" button at the bottom of the Clipboard dialog
box will allow you to show the Clipboard all the times if you would like.

I want to copy a chart. I click on it to activate it, then press Ctrl+C to
put it on the clipboard. There is no indication that it is on the clipboard.
In Excel 2003, there was a moving dashed line around the chart that indicated
it was on the clipboard. In Excel 2007 there is a moving dashed line around
any range of selected data that I copy to indicate it is on the clipboard,
but not around a chart. How do I know that a copied chart is on the clipboard?
