Click the arrow beside the Undo button on the Standard toolbar in Word to
display the Undo list. Then Undo all the items down to Cut. This will
restore the text you cut, which you can then cut again; after pasting the
text where it's needed, you can, if you like, Redo all the Undone items.

Using word as editor for Outlook -- have cut 3 paragraphs of text from msg
1
to paste in msg 2; in prep'ing msg 2 beginning content before paste, also
selected some text to put in "subject" of msg 2 and inadvertently "copied"
text before paste in orig text cut from msg 1 --- 3 paragraphs were lost
from
earlier cut#1.

Is there a hidden "cache" for the clipboard - when I opened the clipboard
it
only had my last info pasted to "subject field"?

Is there an audit trail/list for clipboard one can turn on?

Can you tell word to keep a "push down stack" that you can recover from
previously "cut" items or "clipboard items"? or are there other
controlling
attributes for behaviour of clipboard?

Is there another technical solution, other than not being forgetful.

Insight appreciated.
Thanks
