Office XP lets you dock the Office Clipboard in the Windows taskbar so that you
can use it with any application. As long as the Office Clipboard remains open in
the taskbar, users can cut or copy multiple items from any file and paste one--or
all of them at once--into any Office application.
 

For example, suppose you found three items on the Web that you want to save to
a Word document. Using the system Clipboard you would need to copy and paste
each item individually, but that's unnecessary when you use the Office Clipboard.
 

Follow these steps to cut and paste between applications:
 

1. In Word XP, press [Ctrl]C twice to dock the Office Clipboard icon in
the status section of the Windows taskbar.

2. Minimize Word on the desktop.

3. Open Internet Explorer and copy the first item. The following message
is displayed next to the Clipboard icon: "1 of 24 - Clipboard item
collected."

4. Continue copying items. As each item is copied, Office displays a
message indicating the number of the item on the clipboard.

5. Open the Word document into which you want to paste the items and, in
the taskbar, double-click the Clipboard icon to display the task pane
containing the items copied to the Clipboard.

6. In the Word document, position the cursor where you want the copied
items to appear.

7. Click Paste All to paste all items at once. To paste one item at a time,
position the cursor where you want the item to appear in the document,
and double-click the desired item in the task pane.
