The Office 2007 Clipboard Feature

What is Office 2007 Clipboard?

The Clipboard is an area of memory in which you can store text, graphics or any other items. It is used to temporarily store data whist it is being moved between slides or applications. If you cut or copy text, graphics or other items, they will temporarily store in the clipboard before you paste it to other location.

As Microsoft Office 2007 supports up to 24 items on the Clipboard, when you have copied 24 items you will see a message prompt out. To copy multiple items, simply select each item and copy it to the Clipboard.

Copy and Paste

When you use the Copy command, the clipboard is used to store a copy of selected text or graphics without removing it from the slide. This enables you to paste a copy of text or graphic from the clipboard to another location in the same or different slide, or to another program.

Select the item you wish to copy to the Clipboard.

On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the Copy buttonOR press Ctrl+C
