office clipboard too slow in Excel 2007
 

When I use the office clipboard to copy numerous individual cells
(containing only text) it slows down the more times I use it. I copy about
12 items at a time and then clear the clipboard after I have pasted all of
them. By about the 3rd or 4th set it takes so long to copy each cell, 10 to
15 seconds...pasting is still quick. I did not have this problem in Excel
2003. Is there some reason for this slowdown?
Thank you.

XP.
