Hello:

A user of Excel says that the Office Clipboard does not hold any more than 5
items at a time. Then, in order to copy and paste after five items, he has
to save his work, close out of Excel, and come back in.

I told him out to go to Edit...Office Clipboard and Clear All.

But, why would the Clipboard only allow 5 items at a time? I thought that
the default was 24.

Thanks!

Depends on version!
I'm on an XL2K machine now with a capacity of 12.
I believe that XL02 has 24.
Don't recall what the older versions might gave.

BUT ... unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, any 'new' copies
should displace *older* copies in the stack, so it *isn't* necessary to
close and re-open XL to refresh the clipboard.
