Default automatically delete text in clipboard on exit

Hi,

Every time I exit Word 2007, I get a box that asks me if I want to keep the
text in the clipboard for other applications. I never want to keep the text
in the clipboard, so does anyone possibly know of some way that I can tick
some box so that I'll never be asked that again.

Thanks for any help.

Stephen


There's no way to "tick some box" to turn off the prompts. You need a macro to
clear the clipboard before exiting from Word. Put this macro into a module in
the Normal.dotm template (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if
needed):

Sub AutoClose()
Dim MyData As DataObject
If Documents.Count 2 Then
' clear clipboard
Set MyData = New DataObject
MyData.SetText ""
MyData.PutInClipboard
Set MyData = Nothing
End If
End Sub
