The following is a recorded macro that displays the Office Clipboard:

' Macro recorded 6/18/2004 by Charles Kyle Kenyon

WordBasic.EditOfficeClipboard
End Sub

Since it uses a WordBasic command, I assume that it will work with most
versions of Word. It was recorded in Word 2003.

Shaun, forget about macros. Instead, treat the Office Clipboard as you
would
a menu bar or toolbar:

--Press Alt to activate the Menu bar;
--Press Ctrl+Tab to cycle through the toolbars;
--When the Clipboard is active, press Tab or Shift-Tab to navigate;
--In the items to paste, press Up or Down Arrow to navigate;
--To access the drop-down menu options for an item to paste, press
Alt+Down
Arrow; press Up or Down Arrow to navigate the drop-down menu; press Enter
to
invoke a menu command, or press Alt to dismiss the menu;
--In the items to paste, to paste an item w/o using the drop-down menu,
highlight the item, then press Enter.
--When you're finished using the Office Clipboard, press Alt until no
menus
or toolbars are active.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have recently migrated from office 97 to 2003. One of the features
that I have been most impressed with is the new office clip board. This
is
particularly useful when in Word, but it is annoying that there is no
alternative to access items in the clipboard without use of the mouse.

I have tried to write macros to work around this but found that this
does
not work. I find that I can only use:

Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)

This command only pastes the last item added to the clipboard.

Does anyone know if there are any keyboard shortcuts already existing or
know of a way to write a macro to be able to access individual elements
from
the office clip board?

Cheers.
/Shaun

Keyboard shortcuts can easy be set up to perform dozens of tasks thus making the mouse very much redundant and saving wrist ache. Simply follow these instructions:
With a WORD document on screen click on :- "Tools" €“ "Customise" €“
"Keyboard" €“ In "Categories" scroll down to "All Commands" €“ In "Commands"
scroll down to "ControlRun" €“ In "Press new shortcut key" type keys of your
choice €“ Click "Assign". (e.g.) [I allocated Ctrl +Alt + 1] When the chosen
combination keys are pressed together a dialogue box appears with the option
to select the Clipboard with the letter C then Enter or Control Panel with P
then enter. [Hey presto, mouse left in its hole.]
XP 2003 only allows 12 entries to the clipboard but if you require more you
can download a free program which allows for 30 selections to be copied. See
