Office clipboard macro
From docA I first clip TextA to the Offfice Clipboard, then I clip
TextB to it. In docB I record Mymacro with these actions: First I open the clipboard, then paste TextB, then delete TextB from the clipboard. Now I paste TextA from the open clipboard, then delete it from the clipboard. Now I close the clipboard. When I next have a new TextA and Text B on the clipboard I run Mymacro. It pastes TextB two times and leaves TextA and TextB on the clipboard. Any way to get the macro to do what I need, that is paste TextA and TextB and delete them from the clipboard? |

But what are TextA and TextB? How are they arranged in the original

TextA is any selection of text which I choose.
TextB is any other selection of text which I choose. There is no repeatable pattern of relationship between the two selections. That is why I was clipping them onto the clipboard. Putting them in was no problem. Getting them back out was the problem. I imagine the selections could be trapped as varA and varB in a program instead of using the clipboard.

Brian,
Checkout Clipmate to see if it will do what you are trying to accomplish, you can append two clips together to paste as a single clip http://www.thornsoft.com/ -- Paul Ballou MVP Office http://office.microsoft.com/home http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ http://www.ballousgiftshop.com Life would be easier if we could view the source code "Brian Holfield" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks, Paul
Looked at ClipMate, but it needs more clicking around to accomplish what I want than I currently need to do in Word itself. To recap: In a document I need to select and clip two separate pieces of text. In another document with one click on one button I need to: insert a table of 1 row and 2 columns paste text B in the left hand cell and paste text A in the right hand cell clear the clips from memory.
