Clearing the Word Clipboard

If you're cutting and pasting repeatedly in a document, you may grow tired of seeing the Word Clipboard (which features your last 12 cuts) popping up with every paste.

To clear the contents of the Clipboard, click the Edit menu, and select Office Clipboard. Now click the Clear Clipboard button at the right of the toolbar. All your previous cuts and pastes are wiped clean. Close the toolbar and return to your work.
