clipboard to see if the last item copied is an Excel range. Then I wan
to check the size of that range (how many rows and columns). How can

I believe this clipboard information is stored as binary. AFAIK, there isn't
anything in Excel dealing with it.

It's a matter of learning from Excel SDK and applying. There are some
articles out there on BIFF (Excel's file format)

You may get lucky searching the web for "BIFF" and "clipboard"
