clipboard menu keeps showing up 2

[sjakiePP]

Hello,

When ever I copy and paste something a clipboard menu keeps showing up. This is very annoying. How can I disable this menu item from doing that. I use office 2000. And it happens with Word and Outlook.

Thanks in advance,
Sjakie.

Try this:

1. On the Clipboard task pane, click Options.
2. Clear the Show Office Clipboard Automatically check box.
3. Clear the Show Office Clipboard When Ctrl+C Pressed Twice check box.

The Help menu in Word 2000 says, "If you close the Clipboard toolbar three times in a row without using Paste All or any of the item buttons, the Clipboard toolbar will no longer appear automatically.

Well, my impression is that the help file is wrong on that point. I have been closing that darn thing (having never used it) dozens of times, but it still comes back when I am doing a lot of copy/pasting. I noticed this thread while just passing by, and am excited to hear that there is a way to shut that "feature" off. But where is the "Clipboard task pane" mentioned in step one of CandyFloss' answer?

Also, sometimes Office complains that I have more than 12 things in my clipboard. I never use the multiple item features of the clipboard (maybe I should, but I have never learned how, and don't know how it would help my workflow), so I would be perfectly happy to have it only store the last thing I copied, just like the old days. Any way to set it up that way?

The "clipboard task pane" is in versions later than Office 2000. See

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...port/kb/articles/Q221/1/90.ASP&NoWebContent=1

for how to modify the registry to turn it off, but you might want to first try the suggestion shown in the same article under the paragraph entitled, "Controlling the Office Clipboard".

Just a quick thanks and bump for that post.

You have trouble finding such information in another MS-KB than the English one...

Besides: Having to manually add a registry key... shows how erroneous M$ programming is...

Cheers,
Andy
